Regarding your latest test.fo case, I don't understand how you plan to add the
whitespace management extension.

It was already added. The basic structure is already there in the code, the
only thing missing is the core logic of the extension which isn't too hard to
implement once I find a good solution. I can still reintegrate the old
extension code and call it done, but I want something better.
I had a private discussion with Vincent and we agreed that it is best to
implement FOX best-fit as a new element NOT a property of FO multi-switch. I'm
still open to more suggestions, though.
In my opinion, best-fit is not the same as multi-toggle, the latter acts on a
single multi-case while the former has to process the list of multi-case(s) at
once, so it doesn't make much sense to put it into the switch-to property.

> 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
