well it's hard to say about making it neater, I think the structure of fo
doesn't much provide for anything like low overhead or things that are
probably of import in many situations, that said, one thing I do with fo is
to have an xml-based css syntax that I call with the document() function to
build attributes. In this way I can get sort of the same thing as you get
with css + html, when I batch. Also it allows me to push formatting work
off on the designers at my work who know css and xml well enough to use the
format.
