[xep-support] fo:initial-property-set

[G. Ken Holman]

To do an hanging outdent on the first line, use a negative value for 
text-indent, while using a positive value on the start-indent for the 
rest of the lines:

    <block start-indent="1cm" text-indent="-1cm">
       Long paragraph here.....
    </block>

I hope this helps.
