Rather than just moaning about a poor message I decided to fix it. I've
made a change locally, but I'm not 100% certain about the exact wording.
I've currently got:

{elementName} {{locator}} overflows available space in
inline-progression-dimension

I'm not 100% certain if this message always applies to IPD. I would
appreciate it if one of the other devs could confirm?

Thanks,

Chris

How about:
An fo:table is wider than the available room in
inline-progression-dimension. Adjusting end-indent based on
overconstrained geometry rules (XSL 1.1, ch. 5.3.4)

I'd like to have the hint about overconstrained geometry in there
because this condition is not strictly an overflow. It's just a
conflict of values which is resolved based on rules in the spec. It's
also just a warning, not an error.

It's always about IPD, yes.

Agreed. Thanks for the clarification.

New english message now committed. No idea what the german version
should be though :)

Thanks,
