XSL-FO has a very linear processing model that has served it well, but very often it is necessary to make decisions on what will be in the formatted output based on the sizes of the formatted output, and XSL 1.1 as defined does not let you do that. This paper looks at what's needed to be done to get that sort of decision making into XSL-FO processing today and at some possible future developments.
