Debugging shows: The FOText instances under fo:marker (just before and after the fo:block) don't get processed for whitespace treatment. Block.handleWhitespace isn't accessible to it. That's why the whitespace isn't removed and causes additional lines. The fix is probably to extract

Hi Jeremias, Not to rain on your parade, but doesn't there need to be a vote on fop-dev by committers on the release before bringing it to the PMC? Also doesn't a formal vote need to run at least one full week? I understand your desire to get the release out but... Jeremias Maerki

No, we cannot be sure if there are any legal issues unless we perform a complete legal audit of the full FOP codebase. We'd have to go through EVERYTHING. I think that's not in anybody's interest, nor would not doing this be neglecting our duties. IMO it was a good move to remove the hyphenation
