The most important thing for my company and their customers is Windows 
Support (Which I know you already have on your list). This is because whilst 
Linux accounts for a significant percentage of my customer's server 
installations, there are significanlty more using Windows. Some other 
features, which are also key for generating the majority of business 
documents:

- keep-* property support
- repeating table headers and footers
- collapsing table borders
- SVG support
- block containers
- support for reference orientation
- markers
- fo:list

Whilst xmlroff is currently a long way behind FOP in terms of feature 
support, xmlroff's main advantage over FOP is it's potentially a whole lot 
quicker being C based as opposed to Java.

Thanks for your efforts so far,

Chris
