Priorities for future work
Handle page masters, and running headers and footers, properly;
complete the MathML handling;
handle more variety in property values, such as colors and fonts;
deal with complex tables;
support processing instructions to manipulate TeX formatting directly
<?TEX \enlargethispage{\baselineskip} ?>
support of SVG; possible solutions are:
direct intepretation and mapping to raw PDF;
translation to MetaPost, and spawning a MetaPost process;
pre-processing to existing TeX graphics languages.
In any case, SVG fragments need to be recognized directly to perform in-line graphical functions (setting text at an angle?);
implement replacement TeX XML parser (being developed by David Carlisle);
use Unicode-based TeX variant (Omega) to handle non-Latin material more naturally;
consolidate present setup to cover complete TEI and Docbook DTDs.
