The value of the start-indent of what? In the presence of the list-block, it is the value
of start-indent of the list-block. In the absence of start-indent, it is the value of
nothing. What is the value of nothing?

<fo:list-block provisional-distance-between-starts="1in" start-indent="1in">
  <fo:list-item>
     <fo:list-item-body>
       <fo:block start-indent="-1in">
         <fo:block start-indent="body-start()">
	   Text here.
  
What's the indent of "Text here"?

And then:

<fo:block start-indent="-1in">
 <fo:block start-indent="body-start()">
   Text here.

What's the indent of "Text here"?
