ironically, i just figured that out.  so to clarify the
differences between the branches and possible downloads:

1) 0.20.5rc2 is the current release candidate.  these
   release candidates are fixed and are not updated until
   the next release candidate (upcoming rc3, if i read
   things correctly)

2) the maintenance branch (referred to above) represents
   no more than bug fixes to the current release candidate,
   and should be able to be dropped in place of the current
   RC without breaking anything.

3) the "redesign" branch (and i may be getting this wrong)
   represents ongoing work from the current release candidate
   and will eventually become the next RC, yes?  it's more
   than just big fixes; obviously it represents new features,
   but there's no guarantee that you can just drop it in 
   place of the current release candidate.  (and this is
   the branch represented by the "xml-fop" download
   directory, yes?)

and the only way to get the current maintenance version 
is via CVS.

  how much of that did i get right? :-)
