properly without the problems that have been encountered and to make
it possible to handle keeps/breaks and spacing better.

Many of these changes will make FOP much better to use and develop.
So if you help out with the development you can get to use these
things sooner.
<ul>
<li><strong>better layout design</strong> - that can handle keeps and
spacing better</li>
<li><strong>better area tree handling</strong> - means it can run in
less memory</li>
<li><strong>better image handling</strong> - redone so it can use a
cache and synchronizes properly only on the current image while loading</li>
<li>svg now in an xml handler, FOP can be used without batik</li>
<li>bookmark extension improved a bit - changed bookmark extension,
now requires a wrapping element bookmark</li>
<li>new interface for structured documents, rtf and mif</li>
<li>better handling of unknown xml and xml from an unknown namespace</li>
<li>Changed extensions to allow for external xml</li>
<li>Can have a default element mapping for extensions</li>
<li>mathml extension</li>
<li>another xml -> svg extension</li>
<li>svg text normal text if that can be handled otherwise stroked
this is done automatically</li>
<li>new area tree model</li>
