The part about customizing the XSL-FO is obviously not supported but
PDFClass.style is since it's about the xhtml content before it's
converted to XSL-FO.

I could add something like PDFClass.xhtmlofficexsl to customize the
xhtml before exporting it like we have PDFClass.fopxsl to customize
XSL-FO content for  maybe if needed.

And it's still possible to customize the xhtml by modifying pdf.vm of course.
