Now, inverting your text we get:
I think it's unfortunate that the XSL WG has not chosen to adopt the
CSS properties that already exist for this purpose. Electing to invent
new names for existing functionality in other W3C Recommendations may
impact interoperability and future compatible growth.
I encourage the XSL WG to reconsider their choice of property names
and values for functionality that they have independently reinvented
since the CSS2 Recommendation was published.
