(And not inconsiderable > experience on the implementation side as well, i.e., with TeX, FOP, etc.) I should stress that I myself am not a typesetter (with the exception of my 1994 book). However, for two years I managed the publishing section at a university and tried to introduce SGML to people who had been typesetting for more years than I have lived! One soon develops an appreciation.

I am sure this is a matter of terminology (or maybe they were all novels). It didn't help that I misleadingly typed "headings" instead of "headers" throughout one post (I claim sleep deprivation from working on FOP :-) > However, I'm also disturbed to hear that the XSL spec does not support running headers. Yet! I would like to think that 1.0 is just the beginning. And in the interim, I will probably support them via a proprietary formatting object. > This functionality, I think, is fundamental not just to book production but to any serious > document output formatting solution.
