Whatever the motivation of Sun was, FOP has to be postitioned in the IT world.
What runs in which environment? Which output types are supported? - Adobe announced PDF support (in a Windows environment?) - IBM announced AFP support in a Java environment - Sun's XSL:FO supports PDF (in a UNIX or Windows environment?) - FOP supports SEVERAL output types in a Java environment Operation - FOP: standalone batch, servlet Extensibility = features not defined by XSL:FO, e.g. renderers, bookmarks, barcodes, SVG Optimized document types: big books vs. business forms/outputs Only when the design and details of the Sun XSL Formatter will be known, consequences for FOP may be discussed on a productive way.
