Ah, I'm reliefed. There's still quite a lot of time to learn XSL.
If I have understood it right, you are somehow involved with the
development of DocBook XSL and, if not directly, you at least follow
the development of some FO processor. Please drop a note to this list when
you think it would be the time to test and seriously consider switching
the PDF generating tools. Unless, of course, you just do the switch
yourself... I think you are one of the few (maybe the only one) who
actually knows what he's speaking about when it comes to XSL.
