[xep-support] Space is retained when using span="all"

[Krister Wicksell]

Hi,

When a block is set to span all columns of a page any space set on this block 
is always retained by XEP even if space-*.conditionality="discard". Other 
formatters treat a span as a page boundary. I can not find and description of 
this in the XSL-FO specification. What is the correct behaviour?

Personally I like XEP's behaviour better but it does not really do what is 
expected. If the space is retained then why does not other space resolving 
rules apply?

See attached file for an example.
