-----Original Message----- From: Oren Ben-Kiki <oren@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >My bet is that the formatting part of XSL would just wither away. I hope not. If XML is going to be used for serious printing work, you need XSL and not CSS. Let me quote from Jon Bosak recently on xml-dev talking about the kind of complexity needed by print publishing and planned for XSL: That's not complex. Complex is multiple columns, interleaved column sets with multiple text flows, footnote zones, synchronized marginalia, math formatting, mixed vertical and horizontal writing directions -- in other words, the stuff you need in order to do genuinely internationalized automated print publishing.
