Subject: RE: [xsl] What is the future of XSL-FO From: "Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2004 22:25:17 -0000 |
Thanks for posting this hilarious bit of disinformation - hilarious except for the worrying indication that you seem to take it seriously. Microsoft don't have an XSL-FO product. Therefore, they will rubbish the XSL-FO standard. You don't really read MSDN for independent objective advice, do you? XSL-FO has been a standard fully accepted by the World Wide Web consortium since 15 Oct 2001.

The future of XSL-FO as a standard is uncertain, # because much of its functionality overlaps with that provided by cascading # style sheets (CSS) and the HTML tag set. If cross-vendor compatibility is # important, you might want to avoid XSL-FO until it becomes a standard # fully # accepted by the Worldwide Web Consortium." # # Can I consider valid the declaration above? I really want to use XLS-FO as # standard in the company I work for, as base document format for report # generation, but this declaration could make me hesitate to. I would # appreciate any thoughts. # # Thank you. # # -- # Celio Cidral Junior # ccidral@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # # ________________________________________________ # This mail was sent by Webmail Expresso 2.5 # # # XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
