Probably for clarity David is leaving out a complicating detail,
which may or may not be relevant or useful. They aren't *completely*
unrelated; XSL FO does use a great deal of CSS in its definitions of
properties and their values; for example it goes with
font-style='italic' (i.e. CSS "font-style:italic") and that sort of
thing, rather than inventing its own language space for largely
similar phenomena (display and typesetting). This doesn't guarantee
anything but it does make it a bit easier to map between them, since
in general if CSS has a name for something and FO has that same
thing, FO will use the same name.
