Hi Ken,

Thanks for clearing that up.

Wellllll ... I've been directed to:

  http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.htm

where in section 17.5.3 it explicitly states that height= is a *minimum*
value for the table row.  So, "fixed" means the minimum is fixed, not that
the row's height is fixed.  Hmmmmmmmmm.

I have to agree with Ken--it appears that the XSL-FO spec delegates to the CSS2 spec to define the semantics of height on rows.

As Ken says, if you want to limit the height of the cell content, you must put it in an fo:block-container with an explicit height= (or block-progression-dimension= value).

Cheers,

Eliot
