Wouldn't doing FO to SVG (FOS?) require being able to predict where text
breaks? Maybe not at the individual line level, but certainly at the
rectangle (column or page) level. I don't think it's possible to implement
that in XSLT, at least not without implementing a full XSL rendering
algorithm in XSL (possible, since XSLT is Turing complete, but I certainly
don't want to think about it).
