alignment-baseline property
Finn, (and others of course) what to you make out of the following? In 7.13.2 alignment-baseline is defined as having the values: auto | baseline | before-edge | text-before-edge | middle | central | after-edge | text-after-edge | ideographic | alphabetic | hanging | mathematical | inherit But further below in the text where it says Values have the following meanings: we have at the end explanations for the values: top, bottom, text-top, and text-bottom, which according to the definition above are not valid values for this property.

IIC, the definition-list should be expanded to include these latter four. Well, it could easily be. Their meaning seems to be related to 'before-edge', 'after-edge', 'text-before-edge' and 'text-after-edge', only that the ones currently not included in the list are only valid for horizontal writing modes (lr-tb and rl-tb). In vertical writing-mode they fall back to the dominant-baseline, as there, 'before' is 'right' and 'after' is 'left' --and 'top' and 'bottom' are 'end' and 'start'. If you catch the drift... ;-) Not 100% sure, but this seems to be the most plausible... BTW: XSL 1.1 also misses these in the definition --Feel like submitting the question to the XSL-FO WG? :-) Cheers, Andreas

So may be it was done deliberately - but I still don't understand. As you said its not corrected in the 1.1 draft nor is it in the 1.0 errata. And surely other implementers would have picked up on that long before me and alerted the XSL-FO WG? What am I not getting here? Cheers, Andreas Cheers Manuel
