Can anyone (Arved?) give me a brief explanation of why one fo:basic-link will
generate multiple link rectangles (one for each word!) in a PDF rendering?

debugging artifact, that seems to have become the norm.

AHS

Yes, the code is still in there, essentially unchanged.
If you look at BasicLink.java you'll see a call to LinkSet.merge(), _if_ a
