It stand for XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO is the full name). It was
created in order to allow the use of XML and the generating of
universal documents. A very know FOSS thingy that uses it, is docbook.

Here is the basic (bad documented last time I checked) standard:
http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/ . There are several tools that does a
good job. One of them host under Apache's foundation called fop. But
like 90% of the projects hosted at Apache, it is written in Java (the
real down side).
