A lot of XML implementers assume that their DTP and of using CSS3 to format XML source? We're quickly approaching the point (if we're not already there) at which, for some use cases, the print formatting capabilities of CSS are good enough to justify avoiding the complexity of XSL-FO. That's reuse in one sense, but is an open-source example. Producing quality printed output is devilishly hard. Moving on to a different level of sophistication brings in standards like DocBook, which have pre-written XSLT's which allow a single XML file to create HTML (of various layouts), Javahelp, XSL-FO (for processing into print), ePub and others.
