Seifeddine Dridi commented on FOP-2293:
---------------------------------------

However, this raises (in my mind) the question of why fox:best-fit is an
element, as opposed to being treated like a normal FO property for which
inheritance may apply as well as other FO property semantics.

Because the type of content a fox:best-fit element should represent is very
specific, I think. The purpose of the extension is to help managing the
whitespace at the end of a page, and any content that can be put there is
usually not very "important". It may be a signature or some advertisements...

> I have been working on an extension for whitespace management, similar to
> what's described here:
> http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/WhitespaceManagement
> The logic of the extension is very simple: the user defines a set of
> alternatives that he wishes to insert at the end of a page, then if there is
> enough space left, FOP will pick the alternative that best matches the user's
> selection criteria (first fit, smallest fit, biggest fit).
> This is my first work on FOP and it took me almost 2 months to reach this
> stage in development. But it's not the end of course, so I'm relying on your
> feedback to improve it.
> Thank you
