Let's talk component software (or blame monolithic MicrosSoft)! - Formatting has to be separated strictly from rendering o A clean and stable interface has to be defined (why not by data representations of powerful PDF?) o The renderer has to control the processing sequence.
- FOP does what the XSL:FO specs say - no more and no less: o external-graphics are not really specified in XSL:FO, so let additional attributes pass and let the renderer do the job. o foreign-object is by chance SVG: let foreign be foreign and pass foreign-object's without checks thru to the renderer. The area of contributors and hackers is renderers and foreign-objects, so that the FOP core can be kept clean and preserved from release dependencies (Batik, JAI etc.) Hansuli Anderegg, Zurich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
