Yes.  It would be better to make the information available in the PDF
available in other formats as well.  This was kind of the point of XML
and XSL: provide your information via multiple channels.

I’m honestly not sure what FOP would do with them, anyway.  A single XSL
stylesheet might say that emphasis should be both bold and loud, but I
would expect a print formatter to ignore the loudness just as I would
expect an audio formatter to ignore the boldness.
