XSL Formatting Objects Chapter Updated

I'm happy to announce that I've posted a completely updated version 
of Chapter 15 of the XML Bible, XSL Formatting Objects, at Cafe con 
Leche:

http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/books/bible/updates/15.html

This is the complete chapter, approximately 70 pages with many full examples
of XSL-FO. Everything should be up-to-date with the November 27, 2000 
Candidate Recommendation of the XSL-FO specification and FOP 0.16.0. 
This isn't as major a change as the last update since the spec didn't 
change as much. In fact, the biggest changes are simply editorial.

Doubtless there are some errors since I had to work from an 
incomplete and sometimes contradictory spec document, as well as 
using unfinished pre-alpha software. Since this is more-or-less 
what's going to go into the second edition of the XML Bible, as well 
as likely being the primary source for many new users learning 
XSL-FO, I'd very much appreciate it if you can inform me of any 
mistakes you spot so I can fix them.
