Hi David,

I had a look at your example, and was able to reproduce your problem.
The issue lies with handling of border-width="0px" inside your example
fo. The AFP Renderer incorrectly treats this as a non-zero width, and so
displays a border. I had tried to do a fix for Steve, but it looks like
I missed a scenario.

If you delete the border-width="0px" attributes from your example, the
results look more like what you would expect. If you have full control
over your fo generation, you can simply remove these.

In the meantime, I'll try and fix up the source to get the correct
behaviour.

Cheers,
Joe
