Well, please don't let me discourage you. I actually have used it. It
works for most things I do (it would be nice to have). However, it needs
a lot of work. If I had money to throw at it, I think I would encourage
another to be written (maybe in C/C++). Also, I just saw that it hasn't
changed since 2003 yesterday; hence my reaction. I apologize.

The base style-sheets can be ugly in certain page sizes, but this is
from the docbook-xml stuff I Believe and can be fixed.

There are a few things that I don't seem to be able to do. Docbook or
FOP may be at fault.
