Hi Bob,
thanks for these clarifications. My document has several chapter and
section titles that require line breaking, but everything seems to
work as expected even without those fo:inline elements. But it is
quite possible that none of my titles triggers those border cases
where the fo:inline elements would make a difference if they were
supported properly by fop.
regards,
Markus
