Jon, didn't we go through this a few years back? The definition for widows and orphans states the value must be an integer and must be positive which disqualifies zero as a value.

And yes, I have seen some renderers where setting widows and orphans to 0 resulted in using the default though treating it as being the same as setting widows and orphans to 1 is the most common.

Widows: The minimum number of lines that can stay by themselves at the top of a new fragment after a fragmentation break. The value must be positive.

Orphans: The minimum number of lines that can stay by themselves at the bottom of a fragment before a fragmentation break. The value must be positive.
