XSL-FO has other means to achieve the same effect. General, flexible,
font-independent, vendor-independent means I mentioned in the previous
post. This is what the XSL-FO is all about.

"They width is generally" and "they typically" are vague terms. XSL-FO
provides *precise* space allocation rules for these kinds of things.
Not to mention that XSL-FO has nothing to do about math formatting.
