The merit of XSL-FO is that it is standard as specified in Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) Version 1.0 W3C Recommendation 15 October 2001. There are already pragmatic XSL-FO implementations that support XSL-FO standard. Followings are the comparison of implementation level for major XSL-FO processors.

[yes] in the list means that the formatting object or property is implemented.
[partial] means that the formatting object or property is implemented partially.
[no] means not implemented, excluding aural property.
[-] means aural properties. They are out of implementation scope at this date.

Items with [yes] sometimes have limitation that practically may or may not affect to do tasks. See [8 Conformance] of XSL Recommendation about "Conformance Level".
