Nuisance
XSLT was separated from XSL-FO and released as a W3C standard a year or two earlier. While they were originally designed as one unit, XSL, no implementers of XSL-FO renderers have also implemented XSLT transformers (as far as I know, although reading the XSLT could provide the renderer useful hints about what was coming up), and a user would be perfectly free to create the XSL-FO with something like XQuery, instead.
XSLT has its own specification that's fairly clear and easy to read. If you want the official version on how XSL-FO should work, however, you're stuck with the XSL specification, which is stuck with a lot of XSLT baggage that you're probably not interested in.
