I realize that and was not criticizing the stylesheet authors. I just
wanted to know why it was done so that I could avoid whatever the
original problem was. Your explanation lets me know why people in the
old thread were suggesting[1] customizations such as:

<xsl:template
match="para[.//footnote|.//footnoteref|.//superscript|.//subscript]">
 <fo:block line-height-shift-adjustment="disregard-shifts">
  <xsl:apply-imports/>
 </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

Anyway, thank you.
