I don't buy this "2 years" thing. either we'll see plausible XSL
FO-based printing by Christmas, or never. If one cannot whip up a
thing that takes FOs and runs them through, say,  TeX within a few
months of the next release of XSL, then it'll be because its fatally
flawed. That'll buy you printing of XML files via a single XSL
route. I dont say we'll see *browsers* implementing FO interpretation
so fast, but maybe
