This is not really a bug in XMLmind XSL-FO Converter. Unlike RenderX 
XEP, our tool is not resilient to contorted constructs (not offense 
intended).

After removing two ``strange'' (unnatural and useless -- no offense 
intended -- really!) constructs from "testlite.fo" (I've attached the 
modified version to this email):

[1] An fo:block containing just a fo:inline-container containing a 
fo:block. (Removed useless intermediate fo:inline-container.)

[2] An fo:block containing just a fo:inline containing fo:blocks. 
(Removed useless intermediate fo:inline.)

we managed to get the expected result. The attached screen shot shows 
side by side the PDF generated by XEP opened in Acrobat Reader and the 
OpenDocument generated by XFC opened in OpenOffice.org 2.2.

In a nutshell, if you generate XSL-FOs as simple as possible given your 
needs, you should get excellent results whatever the XSL-FO processor. 
But given the complexity of TEI, may be this is easier said than done.

PS: We have also tested Guidelines.fo with our development version of 
XMLmind XSL-FO Converter. The generated OpenDocument causes 
OpenOffice.org 2.2 to *loop* forever, eating all the machine's memory. 
After that, we had to reboot it.

After rebooting the machine, we converted Guidelines.fo to docx and 
managed to open the 1,089 pages of this document in Word 2007. This 
Guidelines document looks OK, which implies that you have much improved 
your XSL style sheets since the last time we've tested them. 
Congratulations!
