Jeremias, I did read the spec (but not the source code) before posting :-). It defines in 7.28.4 body-start as: body-start() = the value of the start-indent + start-intrusion-adjustment + the value of the provisional-distance-between-starts of the closest ancestor fo:list-block. This caused me to wonder to which start-indent this formula is refering and if we potentially have a recursion issue. After re-reading this again I now assume it refers to start-indent of the ancestor list-block (although this is not 100% clear to me) and therefore there is no recursion problem. Now (finally) looking at the code it traverses up the fo tree to the nearest fo:list-item and takes the start-indent from there. If the start-indent on a fo:list-item is always guaranteed to be identical to the start-indent on the enclosing fo:list-block than that is fine. If that cannot be guaranteed then ...
