Patrick Durusau commented on OFFICE-3767:
-----------------------------------------

Thorsten: Quick question:

So in your example, assuming p-style-margin and p-style-no-margin for the new style:

A - p-style-marging
* B - p-style-no-margin
* C - p-style-no-margin
* C - p-style-no-margin
E - p-style-margin

That is we don't have to craft a specification for when the style is automatically invoked. It is chosen by the user. yes?

Suggesting the proposal change from:

****
The style:contextual-spacing attribute specifies that any space above or
       below this paragraph, specified using fo:margin-top or fo:margin-bottom,
       should be ignored if the previous and following paragraphs have the same
       paragraph style.

       The default value for this attribute is false. 
****

to:

"The style:contextual-spacing attribute specifies that any space above or below a paragraph, specified using fo:margin-top or fo:margin-bottom attributes on a style, should be ignored.

The default value for this attribute is false."

I tried to come up with a specific way to say following previous and following, adjacent that covered all cases but gave up. What if a list intervenes? Or an image? Or a drawing? - The suggested wording generalizes it a bit but not too much I hope.  (could do the same thing with fo:margin-top and fo:margin-bottom = 0 on a style)
