[xep-support] Space-before ignored and background color overlap?

    Hello
    We're having trouble understanding why XEP doesn't honour the space-before
    of the first
    block (the text is rendered at the top of the page, rather than 35mm
    down).
    Subsequent blocks are okay.

    Why is the first space-before ignored?

    Secondly, where is the red square with the text "Relative"? It appears to
    be
    hidden behind the yellow container (by looking at XEP's XML output).
    If we remove the yellow background of the outer block-container, it shows
    up.

    Thanks for any clarification,
