Technically speaking, if properties were *inherited* properly, setting border-width on fo:table-row would propagate to a child fo:table-cell that didn't have that property already set, correct? (Also taking into account the border conflict resolution rules below.) The renderer ideally should have no idea nor care whether border-width came from fo:table-cell directly or was inherited.

Well, actually CSS2 defines this (I think...) Yes, I found them here: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html#border-conflict-resolution and added four examples (Ex. 8-11) to the examples\tables\borders.fo file for us to check our compliance in the future. > but > implementation is tricky, because you'll have to > allocate > space for the borders.

Is it not just a case of getting the inheritance and conflict resolution rules done properly (which, OTOH, *is* very difficult) so that the rendering behaves "as if" everything was explicitly set out at fo:table-cell to begin with? I don't know. Also, when you say "collapsing", are you just referring to the "collapsing borders" table model? (The CSS2 standard defines this and the "separated borders" table models here: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html#borders.) According to compliance.xml, we haven't currently implemented the "border-collapse" property--it appears we just support the collapsing borders model by default, and that only partially. Pls. correct me if you're aware of anything different. Sorry for the long post. Thanks, Glen __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
