Aaahhhhh. This is an interesting start for a discussion. Print
applications and web-based applications have very different constraints
and requirements. Browser vendors for instance cannot drop progressive
rendering.

So the question was : CSS is actually not enough for big print applis
so what do we do ?
My question is : XSL is actually not adapted to Web-based applis so
what do we do ?
I think that the gap between these two worlds is large enough to leave
a place for two types of languages, if and only if they are harmonized.
And I personnally don't see any real harmonization between XSL and CSS
coming out of the darkness.

BTW : bidi is in CSS. Footnotes and page references were already on
the CSS table of discussion at the time CSS2 has been published. But
sometime you have say "for next version".
