I have partially unrolled '20070704T1250Z Refactor and reformat using
CSS shortcuts', which caused all the trouble. The issue is that
fop-0.20.5 does not support some CSS shortcuts ('font' in this case).
And my local testing script was unable to detect such a defective
change in fop-0.20.5 output.

The CSS shortcuts such as 'font', 'padding', 'border', etc are
extremely useful, because it allows to keep lines short and readable.
Compare:
 <fo:block font-weight="bold" font-size="10pt"
                font-family="sans-serif">Title</fo:block>
and the same code but using 'font' shortcut:
 <fo:block font="bold 10pt sans-serif">Title</fo:block>
It's a pity fop-0.20.5 does not support most of them -- that's what
keeps *.xsl files lines long.

For the reference -- the Apache-fop the compliance page:
