exploring a new design is never a bad idea. Indeed, one of the things I dislike about fop's current design is that a lot of code is duplicated in the different renderers, and if the intermediate format can solve this, then it is another reason to use it. The only thing I am concerned with is fops stability. I use the svn version for everything, and I am happy as long as "trunk" compiles, and translates my documents correctly. So if you do major changes I'd actually prefer a branch. One thing that should be considered in trying a new design is that no functionality should be removed. This was one of the major drawbacks after the 0.20 -> 0.9 rewrite, where at first many things which used to work before stopped working (and stopped me from using fop 0.9 for a long time). So IMO merging back the branch should only be done when all tests run without disabling them. Just my 2 cts. Max
