I've heard about XSmiles but never tried it. It's somewhat surprising that noone from that project ever contacted the FOP team.
I think the first point goes in one line with Jim Urban's request yesterday. I don't know what's meant with Scripting support. XSL:FO does not support any scripting functionality AFAIK. Another point is that the FOP project is currently focused on a version 1.0, not particularly on interoperability with other projects. But we're always happy when others also jump in to help. > I have been working with the XSmiles browser and have been quite enjoying > the experience of mixing XML content.
