My impression from Microsoft's stuff is that they see XSL as a way of generating HTML - a transformation language only. Can you have an implementation of XSL without FO's? Yes. This single point has allowed XSL implementors to basically ignore style completely and still ship "XSL implementations". All the "styling" ends up being done in proprietary HTML extensions:-( Personally, I would not be suprised if the FO part of XSL is never implemented by the big guns:-( Curiously, this is the exact opposite of what happened in DSSSL. The style side was done but not the transformation side... <Sean URI="http://www.digitome.com/sean.htm"> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
