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.
