CSS and XSL FO are two languages that may be used to describe styling of documents but are otherwise unrelated. Probably for clarity David is leaving out a complicating detail, which may or may not be relevant or useful. They aren't *completely* unrelated; XSL FO does use a great deal of CSS in its definitions of properties and their values; for example it goes with font-style='italic' (i.e. CSS "font-style:italic") and that sort of thing, rather than inventing its own language space for largely similar phenomena (display and typesetting). This doesn't guarantee anything but it does make it a bit easier to map between them, since in general if CSS has a name for something and FO has that same thing, FO will use the same name.
