This is the primary (and for many people the only) motivation for XSL (i.e. the precise and flexibly rendering of XML documents in 2D format). This is a very good question. I cannot answer for the WG, of course. All I can say is that my applications are not always textual and that I would love to have transformation facilities in an XSL-like language. So, always referring to the public spec of course, I would argue for the inclusion of additional ELEMENTs that could provide this. I'll probably experiment in JUMBO - (JUMBO doesn't do much formatting as elephants can't do joined up writing.) P.
