Andreas L. Delmelle commented on FOP-2060:
------------------------------------------
There is indeed nothing about "generating an empty area before jumping to the
next page" in XSL 1.1, but that is not what is happening there either, I think.
It is also not the same thing as blank-or-not-blank, which does not apply to
either case mentioned here.
What may be confusing is that the second page in Matthias' example is not
really "empty". It does have content, namely one "empty" normal block area.
True, you can indeed not start a document with an empty page by one such block,
since the break condition is immediately satisfied by the empty block area
being the first in the page area. On the other hand, two consecutive ones would
do that job nicely, if I understand correctly.
The last example... It depends on what comes before and after that block. The
single "empty" normal block area would always end up on its own page, and that
page would not be "empty". Perhaps _that_ was a bit unclear before.
All that said, the originally reported issue *was* definitely valid *and*
resolved by the fix.

> This causes five pages instead of four:
> <fo:block>
> <fo:block>page 1</fo:block>
> <fo:block break-before="page" break-after="page">page 2</fo:block>
> <fo:block break-before="page" break-after="page">page 3</fo:block>
> <fo:block>page 4</fo:block>
> </fo:block>
> The empty extra page happens between page 2 and page 3.
