RE: [xsl] Can Saxon create intermediate XSL-FO files ?

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

XSL-FO is just an XML vocabulary.

Any XSLT processor (Saxon included) can generate output conforming to any
XML vocabulary (XSL-FO included).

Of course you will need an XSL-FO processor to turn the XSL-FO document into
something else like PDF.
