This possibility, or something essentially similar, came up. That is, I 
suggested a workaround. Rachael explained the production scenario, and it 
appears to make sense to me that extra processing of the content before it 
gets to the formatter is not acceptable. So unless something has changed we 
are definitely talking about source code changes.

I did Rachael a disservice by underestimating the scope of the fix (I looked 
at the FOP code and started working on this, and it wasn't so 
straightforward) and overestimating the amount of time I had available to do 
something about it. Work at my last company was pretty crazy for a lot of 
this year, and I should have taken that into account, and I apologize for 
being naively optimistic. In any case that last company has now folded and 
at the moment I am _not_ in a position to assist. :-)
