Neither XSL-FO nor XSLFO are used in the XSL CR.  "xsl-fo" appears
only as the first five characters of "xsl-following", "xsl-footnote",
and "xsl-footnote-separator".  XSLFO doesn't appear at all.

"XSL-FO" (and any variation on it that you've seen) is merely a term
that has come into common use but that has no standing in the XSL CR.
