You can think of it as a sort of XML-world equivalent of TeX or
PostScript. The idea is that XML applications needing to do page
layout should generate FO as their last step; an XSL:FO renderer then
takes care of translating to a printer command language.
In practice, all the energy is in FO-to-Postscript translators like
Apache FOP.
