If I have understood it right, you are somehow involved with the development of DocBook XSL and, if not directly, you at least follow the development of some FO processor. Please drop a note to this list when you think it would be the time to test and seriously consider switching the PDF generating tools. Unless, of course, you just do the switch yourself... I think you are one of the few (maybe the only one) who actually knows what he's speaking about when it comes to XSL. -- Jouni
