Anything that rationalises and makes consistent and readily understandable the invovation and setup of FOP will be a very good thing. I'm just talking about the very limited aim of unifying and making more useful the existing maintenance branch options/configuration code. ... >>>I don't get you here.

In the middle of this discussion about options processing, I came across the references to the language file in the config file, so I dragged them in, kicking and screaming. "I can specify country.language and script..." should read, "The user can specify country, language and script..." as properties in the FO file that I'm processing. See 7.9.2 "language", 7.9.1 "country", and 7.9.3 "script" in the Recommendation. When I was looking at the parsing of such properties, I wanted to be able to validate the element attributes immediately after they were parsed by the expression parser. I either had to hard-code the lists, or provide for a way of updating them outside the code, so I went for a configuration file, pointed to by the the general config file.
