This is for XSL FO documents - not for a different collection that happens  
to use some of the properties out of XSL-FO. A link to the source where it  
issome other format isn't likelyto beay more helpful than the DFXP  
document.

Right. My contention is that DFXP should use CSS as the mechanism by whch  
User Agents provide users with the ability to override presentation, where  
that is required for accessibility reasons in the case that DFXP is served  
directly.
