[xsl] [ANN] New XSL-FO 2.0 Working Draft

Subject: [xsl] [ANN] New XSL-FO 2.0 Working Draft
From: "Tony Graham" <tgraham@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2011 15:32:58 +0100 (IST)
The XSL-FO 2.0 Working Draft published yesterday [1] (latest version
always at http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/xslfo20/) is the first to incorporate
new FOs and properties from the previous Design Notes [2] document into
the text from the XSL 1.1 Recommendation [3]. The new WD also features
more extensive linking from FO, property, and function references to their
definitions.

Our own Dave Pawson is the editor of the new Working Draft, though
everybody on the Working Group contributed both to the new FOs and
properties and to the editing.

There are still more FOs and properties from the Design Notes to be
included in the next version, plus I would expect more new FOs and
properties to be defined between now and then. In the meantime, its still
possible to raise or comment on issues in the W3C Bugzilla [5] to do with
the current WD, the Design Notes, the XSL-FO 2.0 Requirements [4], or
even errata for XSL 1.1. See
http://www.w3.org/XML/2008/xsl-fo-bugzilla.html for instructions on using
Bugzilla to report XSL-FO issues.

This WD is also the first publication from the W3C XML Print and Page
Layout Working Group [6] that was chartered earlier this year to take over
the work of the XSL Formatting Objects Sub-Group of the XSL Working Group.

Regards,
