[xep-support] Block containing figure and caption: inheritance problems?

'text-alignment' is inherited, actually. Your stylesheet contains an
explicit
text-align="end" in the template for the attribution, doesn't it? I don't
see
any point where it breaks inheritance.

As for the 'width', it is 1) never inherited, 2) should not be used on
fo:block
elements: block dimensions shall be controlled by start/end indents.
(There is no @width listed in the properties of a fo:block element
in the XSL spec). Use fo:block-container to constrain the width
of a rectangular area.
