RE: [xep-support] fo:initial-property-set

Ken - thanks. This certainly works. However, I'm not sure why my
original solution wouldn't work also. It looks to me like padding is a
legal attribute for initial-property-set. Is XEP behaving differently
from the specification or am I reading it incorrectly?

To do an hanging outdent on the first line, use a negative value for
text-indent, while using a positive value on the start-indent for the
rest of the lines:

    <block start-indent="1cm" text-indent="-1cm">
       Long paragraph here.....
    </block>

I hope this helps.
