Aleksandr, Thank you for your response. You are only the second XSL-FO vendor to respond to the further standardisation question, so no-one is going to complain about any delay on your part. We all have our own time constraints, but there's also no current standardisation effort for you to participate in. The purpose of the previous question was to gauge vendor perspectives since there's an apparent disconnect between the expectations of users as shown in the survey responses and the actions of vendors. You and your organisation are, of course, welcome to join the Print and Page Layout Community Group and participate as time allows, since XSL-FO is one part of what we are interested in here.
