Subject: [xsl] EXSLFO Project From: "W. Eliot Kimber" <eliot@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2002 08:40:46 -0600 |
I have created the EXSLFO project on SoureForge (http://exslfo.sourceforge.net). I have also registered the exslfo.org and exslfo.com domains for the use of this project if necessary.
The EXSLFO project is a community effort to define functional extensions to thet XSL Formatting Objects specification in advance of development of new versions of the XSL FO specification by trhe W3C. It is intended to be an adjunct to the formal W3C specification development process. It is modeled on the existing EXSLT activity (http://exlst.org/).
- Clear definitions of requirements for features and functions not addressed by the current FO specification. These features may be core layout functions (e.g., revision bars) or may be related to specific delivery technologies (PDF bookmarks and metadata).
- Specifications for non-proprietary extensions to the XSL-FO language that attempt to satsify these requirements
- Where possible or applicable, implementations of these requirements in whatever form (pre-processors, post-processors, extensions to existing FO implementations, etc.).
My motivation in starting this project is driven largely by a desire to have standardized those extensions that are clearly generally required but probably outside of the scope of the FO spec, such as generation of PDF bookmarks and metadata, capturing of page-to-object mappings, etc. As an integrator, I would like to see an industry standard for these extensions that would allow one to have a single FO instance for a variety of FO implementations that could take advantage of all the features of, for example, PDF.
