In general, XSL-FO 1.0 content drives the layout, not the other way around. (If you have Dave Pawson's book, see the last section of Chapter 2.) IMO, the percentage problem that you mention is an exception to this rule that can be handled without a redesign of the whole system. How can you create an area for a block without knowing its "span" attribute? (BTW, I think the redesign stumbles here as well). > the area also creates the context for the resolution of percentages.

In addition to not following the benefits, I see the following apparent drawbacks, which I would be glad to have you address: 1. Less modularity 2. More complex design I wanted to add "less flexible", because it would seem to restrict our ability to make the layout pluggable. However, that is probably not true, but that line of thinking led to an interesting thought. If pluggable layout works, then perhaps your whole pull-parsing logic could be implemented entirely as an implementation of LayoutStrategy. For this purpose, it would work similarly to our Structured output concepts (MIF, RTF), in that no FO Tree would be built, but the SAX events are passed through. You could then do with them whatever you wish, sychronously or asynchronously, right-brained or left-brained, Northern Hemisphere or Southern :-) Is that worth exploring? Can your stuff use the general Area Tree model? Victor Mote - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But then what happens to the idea that the FO tree can be processed and refined before the layout occurs? If you are going to defer the resolution, why not defer the parsing as well? Marker resolution requires the merging of the fo:static-content subtree (encountered *before* the corresponding fo:flow) with fo:marker subtrees which can only be determined as pages are laid out. Furthermore, this process may repeat with *different* fo:marker subtrees being attached at the same fo:retrieve-marker point in the static-content. With pull parsing, events are extracted from a parsing event buffer *as required*. In general, this will occur "synchronously", but need not. The stream of static-content parsing events can be stashed away, the stream of fo:marker subtree events can be stashed away somewhere else, and the process of resolving the FO tree need never know that it is in fact reading an "asynchronous" stream of parser events in which fo:marker streams are attached by sleight-of-hand in place of the fo:retrieve marker dynamically and transparently, and that this parsing is happening after the event - well after the static-content was first encountered, and after the region-body has been laid out. Furthermore, it can be "rewound" and repeated for as long as new pages with new fo.marker retrievals are required. "Synchronous" and "asynchronous" are relative terms here. It's all asynchronous, in the sense that the SAX component simply creates parse events and sticks them in a producer/consumer buffer. The other problem is percentage lengths, where the percentage is defined against an enclosing area dimension. Doesn't it make sense to create the area before you even look at the FOs which will fill it? Creating the area also creates the context for the resolution of percentages. In the difficult cases where the area dimension is initially indeterminate, the unresolvable percentage can at least be immediately "attached" to the area dimension whose resolution will in turn, resolve the percentage. In most cases, however, the resolution will be immediate. This approach, of having the containing area in place before parsing the contained FO subtree, is easy to implement with pull parsing, driven by the *areas*.

I have exactly one vote on such matters, so I can't speak for the whole, but as far as I am concerned, developers such as you describe are more than welcome to join the party. In the event that alt-design remains on a branch, I don't think any reasonable person could object. At the point in time that we contemplate merging to the trunk, we need to come to an agreement. In the unlikely event that we can't come to an agreement, we always have the option to fork the project. My purpose here is to avoid that if possible. BTW, I hope this isn't a Peter-vs.-Victor thing. Absolutely not. This is a question for all of the existing committers. Your response above is exactly the one I would hope to see from everyone. Incidentally, the project is already de facto forked - the purpose of integration is to bring the benefits of alt.design into the main redesign. For example, I know there are opportunities to use less memory and more speed (which you report in alt-design) in the FO tree creation. If memory serves, we are storing the URL for the fo: namespace in every FONode object, which should be replaced by an integer pointing into a table. I am very open to being educated, but I think it is fair to say that I am not persuaded on all of it yet, and I think the burden of proof lies heavily on you. Unless pull parsing is an integral part of the whole, I think the alt-design changes will be best swallowed in smaller pieces. alt.design is a complete rewrite of the front end. It could possibly be broken up and rejigged to use a standard SAX approach, but that would require major surgery, and would obviate a great deal of the advantage of doing away with the design convolution which is imposed by SAX. There is no great design rationale in the basics of the current approach to FO tree parsing. It is that way because it is obliged to be by SAX. SAX imposes itself on design, unless it is forcibly restrained, and that imposition will, IMO, always be to the detriment of the design of complex systems with a well-understood structure to their data. Clearly, that is a view that is not shared here, but it is one, which, I believe, has been and is being debated at length elsewhere. Andy Clark's NekoPull variations on Xerces XNI are an attempt to provide a pull alternative for Open Source parsing. It seems unproductive to try to debate the issue here; one either takes to it or one doesn't. Also, if pull parsing can be implemented in a pluggable, configurable way (ie. choose either push parsing or pull parsing at runtime), it will have a much better chance of being accepted. My understanding of it is that it has a pervasive effect, making separation between the modules more difficult instead of less. IMO, absent a /significant/ benefit that cannot be achieved some other way, this would be a deal-killer. Which modules? I'm not sure what you mean. The modularity of area processing?

FOP Developers: Being the greenest committer, I had hoped to defer this nomination to a more senior developer. However, I think it is appropriate to nominate Glen Mazza for committer status. He is knowledgeable and thoughtful, and I think it is in the interest of the project to turn him loose so that he can keep working without having to wait on us.
