What got me interested in FOP to begin with (last year) was the case where I wanted to put borders around each cell in table. Efficiently defining that at table-level was not implemented in FOP, it was only defined at individual cell-level, meaning something is/was wrong with the inheritance, perhaps. Joerg (I believe) was mentioning this was shut off to allow other functionality for tables to work correctly--does anyone know, is this a bug, what's the story? > I think of Driver as corresponding to my "Session" > concept.

And it's looking much better as of late--it may be our cleanest-coded package now. It appears that Document and Driver/Session (I'm setting aside the issue of when we can rename that class, or just duplicate the class name for backwards compatiblity, etc., etc.) should be in the same package--if you're in agreement, let me know. I'll happily get the busywork of moving Document to the apps package out of the way. Glen __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
