Is there some recent information on using XML, and specifically XSL-FO, with

more, and even the archive of this list seem pretty sparse on recent
information.
I'm trying to find the most direct route from XSL-FO to PS or PDF. I'll be
generating hundreds or thousands of XSL-FO documents, and would like to
process them.
there was never much interest in FO and usually such code only gets
better when it's used; I have it on my todo list to rewrite the mkii
specific FO processing code in mkiv as it can be done more efficient etc
etc but there is not that much incentive ... in projects that I'm
involved in we normally go directly from xml to pdf simply because it's
faster, gives better results and takes less coding than going the
fo-route; and as FO is not that much fun, I'd either need a project or
see it as a challenge (btw, it's not that big a deal to rewrite the mkii
code to mkiv)
