Undesired space above itemizedlist in table in PDF output

Hi,

I'm using:
*	Saxon 6.5.5
*	Xerces 2.8.0
*	Apache FOP 0.20.5

Setup:
Imagine you have a table with two columns.
The cells in the left column contain text directly inside
<entry> tags.
The cells in the right column contain itemizedlists,
typically with
<xref> or <ulink> tags like so:

<itemizedlist>
	<listitem><para><xref/></para></
listitem>
	<listitem><para><ulink></ulink><
/para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>

Because <xref> and <ulink> tags can't go
directly inside <listitem>
tags, I wrap them in <para> tags.

Problem:
*	The text in the left column's cells is aligned vertically
at the
top of the cell. This is the desired behavior.
*	The lists in the right column's cells have space
above/below the
list. This is not the desired behavior. I'd like for the
lists to
vertically align to the top of the cell to match the
corresponding text
in the left column. I can live with space below the list;
but I'd love
the space at the top of the list to disappear. Is that
possible?


Of course, a workaround is just to wrap the text in the left
column's
cells in <para> tags so the text and lists in the
right column have the
same space above them. But I'd rather not do that if there's
a way to
avoid it.

Thanks for any insight you have!
