Changes made to Sample3_modified.fo: 1. font-style="bold": invalid property value. Replaced with font-weight="bold". 2. It is illegal to place text directly into fo:block-container: it only accepts block-level children. Wrapped the respective text into ... 3. Size of the absolutely positioned block container is left underspecified. The behaviour in this situation is not constrained by the XSL Reocmmendation. XEP behaves as if all missing position traits (in this case, 'right' and 'bottom') were set to 0. This makes the contents of the block container overlap with the rest of the text. To fix it, 'right' and 'height' attributes were added to the block-container.
