At most the XSL-FO spec could have something analogous to HTML's  
anchors. In a way it already has this with the 'id' property. Named  
destinations as such OTOH, are more PDF-specific. At least, that's  
the impression I get...
On our extensions page, there is a warning about possibly all FOs  
with an id property generating named-destinations 'in some future  
version'. I guess that would indeed make the most sense, together  
with a port of fox:destination to the trunk, but *as an extension* to  
deal with the PDF-renderer specific parameters (like zoom settings,  
open-in-new-window etc.)

Cheers,

Andreas
