Hi folks! Reviewing XSL 1.0 6.4.13, in particular the second note, I note no restrictions on the overlapping of the body region with perimeter regions. Is it considered bad form to do so? I have a particular situation where I wish to overlap a paginated flow on top and in the middle of a detailed static background. I am not getting any error messages with two engines I'm using, and I cannot see any restrictions in the spec to prevent me from doing so. The extent of my region-before runs to the bottom of the page providing the background upon which I flow my content in the overlapping region-body. The nature of my question today is, is this intentional in the specification to allow the regions to overlap, or is it a byproduct of the way the specification was written? Can I rely on no errors to be produced by a conforming engine? Thanks! .........................
