Re: [docbook-apps] FOP 0.93 Span="inherit" warning

["T.G. Mutato" <throw6617@gmail.com>]

I think your right Colin that it's nothing to worry about -- it's just
an annoyance. Interestingly, I manually removed the span="inherit"
from the fo file (it surrounds the Index title) -- the warning from
FOP went away and the PDF file looked ok too.
