If you want to say that XSL-FO competes with CSS, as you now seem to be
saying, go ahead. I won't argue. That's explicitly not what you were
saying in the messages to which I'm responding, though, in which you were
specifically talking about XSLT rather than XSL-FO or even the more
general "XSL" term that you've used above.
My point was, and is, simply that XSLT and CSS are solving different
problems entirely, and don't directly compete in any way. Is that a
statement with which you can agree?
