The use case is when I buy a plane ticket it comes with a 3 page receipt and E-ticket, and rather than downloading a PDF, we can have HTML specify how to flow the document into a document. It seems the necessary extensions are almost TeX like, alternating headers, columns, sections, page break.
HTML is already exceeding good at flow layout, we can flow text into desktop, mobiles. Why not extend the rules so they flow into a piece of A4 document, or two columns?
Another use case is reports, where there are tabular data, where headers should be repeated at the top of every page. Wouldn't it be nice if HTML/CSS could specify this instead of resorting to Crystal Reports? It'd certainly make us doubly productive.
