    Hello Sebastian,

    1. I bet you have keep-together="always" on the surrounding block.
       In this case the explanation is as follows: keep-together is a
       compound property that splits into individual components each having
       the same value:
       
        keep-together.within-line="always"
        keep-together.within-column="always"
        keep-together.within-page="always"

       The first component pours down to the inline level (keep-together
       is an inheritable property), and disables line breaks in the text.
       That's why XEP tries to pack the whole block on one line; and I
       believe it's the kind of behavior prescribed by the XSL spec.

       To fix it, you have to relax your constraint. I believe a single
       keep-together.within-column="always" would be sufficient.

    2. I think this question would be more appropriate for docbook-apps
       list. As far as I know 'rotate' attribute isn't supported by Docbook XSL
       FO stylesheets.
