Or can I find them somewhere else. If I recall correctly, I did this because it is recommended to use getBlockProgressionDimension() and getInlineProgressionDimension(). width/height are actually properties that are only allowed in XSL-FO to remain compatible with CSS, but they are not really XSL-FO 'native'. Since almost everywhere, FOP stores only the native XSL-FO properties (CSS shortcuts, for example, are expanded at parse-time), I thought removing the accessors for width/height made the whole thing more consistent.

I'd rather not, but will leave this up to other devs (who have been more active lately) Regards Andreas Delmelle ---
