Not true. How quickly we forget! The nasty ones are, notably font and
border, but I just (re-)discovered that xml:lang wasn't, and I have
implemented it.

That was basic work. The basis of the property subsystem is good,
and shorthands all work, I think. But it is another question which
properties are really implemented w.r.t. their effect on the layout. I
do not think we have a good overview. See Glen's experimental
approach:

It would be interesting to compare some RenderX example output between
the two^H^H^H three (ArndFO, fop-0.20.5, fop-1.0Dev)... I suspect there
may be other significant differences as well, with performance, heap,
etc.
Be warned

Glad to hear it! One of these days, I'll have to build alt.design from
source so I can see all of your hard work. I notice that it uses a
non-ant system of building, so
The thing that immediately strikes me about Arnd's development is that
it seems to blow away the theory that incremental modification of an
existing code base is always the better way to go. IIUC, Arnd wrote a
formatter from scratch (except for some fo the font handling) in two years.
