It must be somewhere, used variables maybe ;)
It could well be mostly in the properties.

Anyway that's great.

The only questions I have at the moment:
- are markers handled properly, you mentioned something about that
earlier so maybe it is dealt with already
- what about arbitrary xml anywhere for extensions, is that still
possible (also instream-foreign-object but that is probably okay)
I know it is not a spec thing but it can enhance using FOP for many
users.

Fast and low memory is good.
