    Hi Martin,

    overall it looks pretty good to me. Just a couple of
    suggestions/questions:

    why not just:

     fp_Container----|
                           |-----> fp_Line
                           |-----> fp_HdrFtrContainer
                           |-----> fp_EndNoteContainer
                           |-----> fp_FootnoteContainer
                           |-----> fp_TableContainer
                           |-----> fp_CellContainer
                           |-----> fp_RowContainer

    and

    fp_Column--------|
                           |->fp_ShadowColumn
                           |->fp_PositionedColumn

    It seems to me that since column is the only class that can be
    embeded in the page, it would be better as a separate class from
    the containers that get embeded into columns (unless we are
    expecting to be embeding columns into columns). Also, why does
    a line to be a special case, why not just a container like the rest?

    Tomas
