Hi!
It seems that when fop.extensions or fop1.extensions are on dbfo-need
processing instruction (used for soft page breaks) is ignored.
I found this bug report:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2816141&group_id=21935&atid=373747 and this thread:
docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org/msg13096.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/
docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org/msg13096.html
(I believe the problem in the sample given in this thread is that
dbfo-need is mentioned here:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PageBreaking.html "Because the
mechanism uses blocks, you cannot put the processing instruction inline.
It must be between elements that generate blocks of text, otherwise you
may get invalid XSL-FO.")
However, if I comment out the parts that cause fop to be ignored in
fo/pi.xsl the said processing instruction seems to work as intended. Well,
almost - if there is no page break caused, the text continues a little
down from where it should be. But there are no validation errors mentioned
in the bug report.
So, the question is: what situations does this cause problems in when
using fop?
using docbook-xsl 1.75.1 and fop 0.95.

Ps. Here's one of the small samples I experimented with:
