The fact that XSL-FO has done something in some particular way for n years is imo not a good-enough argument. That there existed an agreement to be in sync back when the respective user populations of each technology were not separated by several orders of magnitude may no longer be as important as it used to be either. I'm open to evidence that this would be harmful though; claims that it self-evidently is a bad idea by mere virtue of being inconsistent seem insufficient.
