Why Isn’t Everybody Using XSL-FO?

By design, XSL-FO is desk-top publishing, not fine typography

• XSL-FO spec doesn’t express all of typography
• XSL-FO engines may only produce desktop quality (or less)
  • quality of H&J
  • page layout and vertical justification
  • floats, keeps, widows, and orphans still a little weak
    (improving every year)
  • no CMYK, few pantones
