XSL-FO is supported in XSmiles [1], though I'm not sure how well it is 
supported.  Not that it is a major browser, but it is a browser, and a 
fairly interesting project.  And perfect one for anyone who wants 
everything written in XML since it only supports XML documents.

mozilla's current position is won't implement [2].  It seems that the 
for those that want an XML version of a CSS-like language, XSL-FO is not 
really the answer because it blurs the separation between content and style.
