The best way is to just post them as a follow-up attachment, if you decide to close the bug. > To run the test, I tried by putting the file in the > test/layoutengine/standard-testcases folder and then setting the variable > "-Dfop.layoutengine.starts-with" to my test file name, but it didn't run the > test.

How do you set the variable, and what do you do after that? I ran your test and it failed: java.lang.RuntimeException: Expected XPath expression to evaluate to '20000', but got '' (XPath: /areatree/pageSequence/pageViewport[2]/page/regionViewport/regionBody/mainReference/span/flow/block/block[10]/block/linearea/inlineparent/@padding-start) but this was in my local sandbox (!= trunk), so that may also be due to other changes on my end. > Lastly for my report I need to write who started the project and what was the > reason for starting the project.

I would say it was just to have an open-sourced, free, Java-based XSL-FO implementation to augment the existing initiatives for XML parsing at that time, but I do not know this for certain.
