Hint received. However, I am too busy using it to spend any time developing it.
(Actually, at this point, I rarely look at FOP. It runs a lot to produce all kinds of documents around here, but my work these days mostly consists of writing documents rather than setting up the document production system. Being a one-person documentation department at a software company is an interesting job.) If it helps any, rest assured that I very much appreciate and applaud your efforts and the efforts of the others who develop FOP.

Don't worry. That won't happen. We're on track. And if we get some help on the way, even better. hint, hint!
