Well, in this list was suggested that XML failure to conquer the web was
because very complete XML specs. People continueS using older formats over
XML based ones because several motives, including that XML approaches do
not address all situations of interest.

I was not refering to usage of CSS in a SVG file but that SVG _is_
presentational and so harmful as font was. <font> was eliminated from HTML
last specs, there is no reason for repeataing errors of the past with
online spreading of p-MathML, SVG, or XSL-FO.

1) eliminate those examples via the "-" command and look how much the
graphic changes. This can offer you a more accurate idea.
2) The data for the graphic is based in Google engine. Try
[http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=CSS&btnG=Search]
to see how many results refer to the w3c spec and how many are noise like
[www.css.gov.au/]
or
[www.css.edu/]
3) The null interest for XSL-FO in browsers, and the decreasing interest
for XSL-FO at printing (with recent increasing in CSS formatters) would
explain part of the lack of popularity and interest in XSL-FO observed on
