What's wrong with <fo:table-row height="22pt">?

Matts said he always wanted two lines ... if I only use the height of the row as above, isn't that elastic and won't it grow if there are more than two lines of data? I thought I needed the block container to ensure every cell would always have two lines.


Please let me know if I'm mistaken about the behaviour of table-row height=.

Thanks, Tony!
