  22.   <P>The main limitation at the moment is: FOP only supports the XSL working draft 21 Apr 1999, 

  23.      not the latest from 27 March 2000. FOP implements the fo objects and properties listed 

  24.      in <A href="implemented.html">features</A>, sometimes it does so only in a limited way.

  28.     <P>The fo working draft allows describes two ways to markup lists.The list-block must have as 

  29.        children either: 1) pairs of fo:list-item-label and fo:list-item-body formatting objects, or

  30.        2) fo:list-item formatting objects.</P>

  31.     <P>At the moment FOP only implements the second way. Therefore a list has a basic structure like this:</P>

  40.     <P>Padding works in conjunction with indents and spaces. It is only implemented 

  41.        for blocks. At the moment padding can't be used to make extra space (indents+spaces

  42.        must be used), but only to control how much the background-color extends beyond

  43.        the content rectangle.
