Hello Paul,

FO does not. Blocks in FO are not regions where text flows. Speaking 
very simplified, blocks are portions of content, these portions produce 
rectangular areas (or sequences of areas), and this areas are stacked 
one ontop of the other.

"link <fo:block> elements together such that text will flow from one to 
the other." - These words just make no sense in FO. Text may not go out 
of it's parent block.
