Re: FO extension for document info

Now I'm completely confused by that reply. So do I.

because all the normal FO elements have meanings assigned in the FO spec
and none of them mean "the creator and author information items for this
document are... and give me a lined table of contents external to the
main document flow" So, if you want those you have to use an extension
namespace or wait for XSL FO 2.

It's meta information about the document. Author, table of contents
creating software etc. The exact list of items is coloured by pdf 
experience but I don't see it as particularly pdf specific.
