Thanks Andreas!

It's no mistake for me, xalanj does a good job. And adding the parameter 
separately is just a bit inconvenient...

The latter, I'm afraid. The output format is only available to FOP itself, and not passed
to the XSLT (pre-)processor.

That said, I don't think it would be too hard to build that into FOP as it uses JAXP, but
given that our current PMC chair seems to be of the opinion that it was a mistake to add support
for XML+XSLT input as a convenience for the users in the first place, it could turn out to
be a tough sell...


Cheers
