RTF functionality from XSL would indeed be useful. XSL is designed to be
a conceptual subset of DSSSL. Thus if you are looking to extend it to
handle more print-oriented flow objects, I think it is most appropriate
that you use the DSSSL flow objects which are the product of years of
thought and experience and seem very complete and well considered to me.
