XSL-FO was a good idea, but it never went anywhere. Processors were costly and underfeatured, HTML+CSS ran circles around it. IIRC, XSL-FO didn't even have floats for a long time!
It's a pity that there appears to be little interest for page-oriented features of CSS: breaks, headers, footers, numbering, etc. Most don't work well or at all.
