Yes, you can. FOP implements the fo: namespace as per spec (well, it
doesnt, but conceptually), and implements the svg: namespace
separately. Nothing illegal in that, surely? Similarly, passivetex
renders things in the MathML namespace as well as the FO
namespace. No-one said this had to work with a DTD.

and I dont see any attempt to hide it, either

its building up, and its a frequent topic on the FOP developers
list. the fact that it isnt `published' is just because the developers
are busy hack^H^H^H^Hwriting code.
> How many other systematic test suites are available over the Net?
none. I certainly would not call my tests systematic! thats what I
badly want to test my code against yours, because you have good test
files. as it stands, I cannot check your test files because they are
in a different namespace

maybe when the spec is complete?

of XSLT processors? or XSLFO processors? we cannot even start the
latter until we have 2 products implementing the same language; as for
the former, its frankly depressing.
