[xep-support] Problems with XEP 4.0

[Martin Bryan]

Couple of questions that are foxing me:

1) How can I generate Em and En spaces with XEP 4.0?

2) Why won't nested inlines justify or hyphenate?

Using the normal nesting processes of XSL I generate nested inlines of
the form:

<fo:block text-align="justify" width="84mm" font-size="10pt">
The PhEur 2002 describes almond oil as the fatty oil obtained by cold
expression from
the ripe seeds of <fo:inline font-style="italic" text-align="inherit"
hyphenate="true">Prunus dulcis <fo:inline font-style="normal"
text-align="inherit">(Miller)</fo:inline></fo:inline><fo:inline
font-style="italic" text-align="inherit" hyphenate="true"> <fo:inline
font-style="normal" text-align="inherit">DA
Webb</fo:inline></fo:inline><fo:inline font-style="italic"
text-align="inherit" hyphenate="true">
<fo:inline font-style="normal"
text-align="inherit">var</fo:inline></fo:inline><fo:inline
font-style="italic" text-align="inherit" hyphenate="true">.
dulcis</fo:inline> or <fo:inline font-style="italic"
text-align="inherit" hyphenate="true">Prunus
dulcis <fo:inline font-style="normal"
text-align="inherit">(Miller)</fo:inline></fo:inline><fo:inline
font-style="italic" text-align="inherit" hyphenate="true"> <fo:inline
font-style="normal" text-align="inherit">DA
Webb</fo:inline></fo:inline><fo:inline font-style="italic"
text-align="inherit" hyphenate="true"> <fo:inline font-style="normal"
text-align="inherit">var</fo:inline></fo:inline><fo:inline
font-style="italic" text-align="inherit" hyphenate="true">. amara
<fo:inline font-style="normal"
text-align="inherit">(DC)</fo:inline></fo:inline><fo:inline
font-style="italic" text-align="inherit" hyphenate="true"> <fo:inline
font-style="normal"
text-align="inherit">Buchheim</fo:inline></fo:inline> or
a mixture of both varieties.</fo:block> 

In this case I get the inline blocks starting a line on their own.

If I simplify this by removing nesting to:

<fo:block text-align="justify" width="84mm" font-size="10pt">
The PhEur 2002 describes almond oil as the fatty oil obtained by cold
expression from
the ripe seeds of <fo:inline font-style="italic" text-align="inherit"
hyphenate="true">Prunus dulcis </fo:inline><fo:inline
font-style="normal" text-align="inherit">(Miller)</fo:inline> <fo:inline
font-style="normal" text-align="inherit">DA Webb
var</fo:inline><fo:inline font-style="italic" text-align="inherit"
hyphenate="true">. dulcis</fo:inline> or <fo:inline font-style="italic"
text-align="inherit" hyphenate="true">Prunus dulcis
</fo:inline><fo:inline font-style="normal" text-align="inherit">(Miller)
DA Webb var</fo:inline><fo:inline font-style="italic"
text-align="inherit" hyphenate="true">. amara </fo:inline><fo:inline
font-style="normal" text-align="inherit">(DC)</fo:inline> <fo:inline
font-style="normal" text-align="inherit">Buchheim</fo:inline> or a
mixture of both varieties.</fo:block> 

then the text will wrap and justify correctly.

Automated unnesting is a pain. Is there any solution that can be quickly
applied to this problem?
