Another, and more straightforward solution to converting the XSL-FO to HTML is to abstract out the presentation from the display language. If your XSL-FO is being produced through an XSL Transformation, go back to the source document and write a new XSL Transformation to produce the HTML. If you don't have a source XML document and you are writing or creating the XSL-FO directly, I would suggest that you create a XML document instead, and write the transformations to produce the XSL-FO and HTML. That way, you can produce the exact results that make sense for each output language, and you won't get burned when the next output requirement (WML, Text, or some other XML language) comes along.
