Fair enough ! But I think in terms for fitness for purpose, I don't
think anyone would argue that PDF (in its current form) would be a
strong candidate for interactivity. I can't imagine building a whole
website of hyperlinked PDF's ;-)

I guess I'm just interested in the potential convergence of display
technologies like post-script/PDF and browser based technology. The XSL
spec seems to hint at a broader usage of formatting objects as indeed
you did when you said:

"The intention was for a lighter weight version of SGML such that
documents in their original (SGML/XML form) could be served directly
over the web rather than having to "downgrade" then to html or
postscript"
