SOLVED! Yes!

Something to cheer up a morbidly downcast Packers fan two
days after the fall of the mighty number '4'.

I used DocBook for the frequency table because I was familiar
with formatting it as PDF with FOP. I suspect that properties
have similar distributions in general because XSL-FO are always
generated with programs and (ransom notes notwithstanding) 
adhere to general styles.

Really repetitive documents would be only slightly more skewed
than general text documents. (Say 90-10 rather than 80-20).

Someone told me where to get the style sheets for the XSL-FO
specification (RenderX) and I wanted to generate the XSL-FO
file for it, as a more appropriate 'challenge' for the project.
