**** THINGS TO DO ****
Support XSL Candidate Release
first target is basic conformance
1.One category of tasks will be to implement missing formatting objects.
basic
fo:declarations
fo:multi-case
fo:table-and-caption
fo:wrapper
extended
fo:bidi-override
fo:color-profile
fo:float
fo:footnote
fo:footnote-body
fo:initial-property-set
fo:inline-container
fo:marker
fo:multi-properties
fo:multi-property-set
fo:multi-switch
fo:multi-toggle
fo:region-end
fo:region-start
fo:retrieve-marker
fo:table-caption
fo:title
2. A not insignificant, category of tasks is to decide upon and
implement all reasonable properties required by the specification. This
also means that at this point, until further review, no FO can be considered
to be compliant.
This are the properties which must be implemented to reach basic conformance
a) CHANGED
space-after.optimum (Incomplete)

writing-mode
z-index
3. A third category of tasks is the ongoing effort to promote maintainability,
write more and better documentation, and to refine the build process.
a) add examples. In examples/fo there should be at least one file for each
supported flow object showing the use of all properties applying to it.
**** Bugs ****
- colour not continued onto subsequent pages if coloured block goes over page
- keep-next doesn't work and doubles the text lines which should be moved to the next page
- border width in fo:table is added to the start position of the next block or
table (see page 6 in examples/fo/table.fo for a test case)
- if a block, which is positioned with space-before, doesn't fit on the current page,
it gets lost. (see space-before.fo in bugtests/fo for a test case)
SVG
- SVG linearGradients don't appear the same as in other SVG Viewers
