Be careful, you'll get headaches just from reading.
FOP resolves spaces in a simplistic and non-conformant manner: it
just uses .optimum unconditionally.

I'm not sure that actually violates the XSL spec,
since spaces are considered discardable only at
the top of a reference area, and a list-item-body is
not a reference area.

Yes, but the spec says in 6.8.3 "fo:list-item" just before the
note clarifying that list-item is *not* a reference area:
 "In particular, the space-before and space-after of the child areas
  have no effect on the spacing of the list item. For purposes of
  the block-stacking constraints the areas generated by fo:list-item
  are treated as if there they have a fence preceding and a fence
  following them."
Specs are great, aren't they? Anyway, FOP handles the case
wrong, as it does with many other important cases.
