Every property in XSL FO is explicitly cross referenced to the corresponding CSS property if one corresponds. Basically CSS and FO are supposed to be converging on teh same underlying formatting model, so even for those properties that are in FO and not in CSS you might expect to see them in CSS n for some n > 2. > How do you handle display properties with XSLT?

XSLT justtransforms one XML language to another, it takes no note about what the elements and attributes mean, so has no concept of display properties. If you are using XSLT to transform to HTML then probably its best to handle display properites by writing class attributes to the HTML and then doing the display in CSS (perhaps also generated by the XSLT) this was my first answer on this thread. If you are using XSLT to produce FO you just use the attributes supplied in FO. Many people transform to LaTeX or rtf to produce PDF. In other words, display properties are a feature of the target language, not of the transformation language, so not of XSLT.
