What's happened to the redesign? I have nothing to prove - you guys do.
I'll just keep working, publishing design notes for anyone who is
interested, and, when I get chunks of code working, I'll publish the
comparisons. Shall we put them to the vote? Will a vote
That concerns me as well. Personally, I must say that my fun time is
nearing an end. I need to reestablish a more or less regular income in
the next couple of months. So a lot of my energy is focused in this
direction which means less participation in this project. But it doesn't
mean I'm going

Peter,
The decision to stop work in trunk--and to place all
efforts into alt-design, should be put to a vote first
by the committers. I'm quite reluctant for us to be
putting all our eggs in one basket at this time.
I want alt-design to win because it became the
better implementation over an

AFAIK, there is no such proposal on the table from Peter or

Glen,
I hope I did not leave the impression that stopping work on trunk was
what I was seeking. I thought it was generally agreed some time ago
that my work on properties should be integrated, for the simple reason
that it is smaller and faster. It seems now that there are

BTW, how certain are we that alt.design will be ready
for 1.0? Has there been agreement on switching the
alt.design by the committers yet--to the degree that
we should indeed forgo any improvement on the current
layout code?
I didn't get the impression from Joerg's email
I was looking at how the Driver class initializes its
FOTreeBuilder instance with formatting object
ElementMappings. This currently occurs in three ways:
1.) Driver explicitly adds three default element
mappings (FO, SVG, FOP extension) to its FOTreeBuilder
instance
2.) Driver searches
Glen,
There is no element mapping in the push parser of alt.design, which we
are looking at integrating into the code for 1.0.

That simplifies things!--just out of curiosity, no
user-defined extension mappings either? (Not that I
was clear how those would work with the current code
anyway...)
Thanks,

No user defined mappings. The semantics of such mappings have to be
defined elsewhere anyway.
Extensions will have to be programmed in alongside the fo: elements and
within the processing logic.
