I think I would agree, if it were not for the slightly strange way the W3C works. As I understand it, as soon as (if!) XSL FO is Recommended, the working group is by definition dissolved, and has to be rechartered with a new task if it wants to carry on. That means that we have no formal structure for the future, or indeed any guarentee of a future. I have no problem with a list of XSL FO features being delayed until version 2.0, if a) the list is formally presented and explained, and b) we had any idea of timetables. I guess I just want Stephen D to say, explicitly, "sorry, traditional book formatting with features like variable running heads will not be supported in XSL FO 1.0". Then we can plan accordingly.
