Yet, that may point out that most of these requirements you've had so far don't really fit with what FO deals with. The answers lies in your words : such requirements must be dealt between the transformation and the formatting. Maybe we should try to gather the good ideas (and there are plenty !) of LaTeX formatters (or some DSSSL tool) and to code it into XSLT modular stylesheets that anybody could use, or Java code for people who dislike declarative languages. Then, our requirements would simply vanish.
