I hope this doesn't open up another can of worms, but ... One of aXSL's other potential client applications has suggested that points (represented by floats) be used instead of millipoints for parameters and return values in the font system. I thought I had seen something on fop-dev recently that made me think that a similar move was being considered for other parts of FOP, but I may have dreamed it.
I have never felt strongly about the matter either way. aXSL is till malleable enough to bend to such a change, and FOray will go along. If such a move is a benefit to FOP, all other known interested parties will be OK with it also, and I will handle the work on the aXSL and FOray sides. If it is *not* a benefit to FOP, IMO that kills the matter and aXSL will continue to use millipoints and other parties can convert as needed. I mention the whole thing only as an opportunity. The task of converting FOP may be non-trivial, so I wouldn't assume that Vincent has signed up for that as part of his current work. Victor Mote
