[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: TextFlow and BlockFlow is-a Figure?

["Randy Hudson" <none@xxxxxxxxxx>]

background and foreground colors are inherited by children, so even if a
block doesn't display either color, it's children might.
Borders will eventually work with blocks as they do pages.  Special borders
will hopefully work with "inline" figures.
