Hi Alexandros

Would you mind attaching your patch to a new Bugzilla issue?
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fop
We usually work with Bugzilla tickets for contributor patches for better
record-keeping.

I've had a short look at your patch. The functionality looks good. I'll
touch up the formatting a bit. There are some conflicts with the current
FOP Trunk due to the addition of generics but that's easily fixed. Just
attach your patch as is.

Thanks!!!
