Subject: Position on further standardisation of XSL-FO?

Your organisation makes and sells software based partially or exclusively on
XSL-FO, yet the W3C XML Print and Page Layout Working Group, which was
developing XSL-FO 2.0, did not have its charter renewed in 2013 because of
insufficient participation [1], leaving no path for further development of
the standard on which your software is based.

The Print and Page Layout Community Group at W3C [2] recently ran a survey
[4] about what it should do next.  The results of that showed a strong level
of support from people both inside and outside the CG for further
development of XSL-FO specifications, either as XSL-FO 2.0, a XSL-FO 1.2, or
as modules layered on top of XSL 1.1.

Do you and your organisation have a position on the further standardisation
of XSL-FO at the W3C or elsewhere, as a Community Group, Business Group [3],
or full Working Group?

Please include public-ppl@w3.org in any reply.
