Several values provided in the XSL FO aren't supported in the CSS specifications and are thus impossible to map into a HTML+CSS engine, like in text-decoration. In addition, the innovation happening in CSS isn't happening in the XSL FO world as far as I know and XSL FO is no where to have the same numbers of properties that one can find in CSS. For example, you can't use text-shadow, advanced box model, border-radius, transition effects, or media queries in TTML. There is no support for selectors or @font-face either. Philippe
