Amit, thanks for your continued interest.  This is a great chance for us
all to collaborate on something often asked for, a good PDF toolchain.

The proposal is pretty well vetted, in that Paul, Patrick, and I went
over all the concepts and agree that this is the currently best
approach.  We also think it is useful for our toolchain to support
multiple methods for accomplishing a goal.  There are reasons why one
would choose passivetex, FOP, or ReportLab as ways to get a PDF.

cheers - Karsten
