  Subject: Convert XSL to XSL:fo

Clyde,
I work with Guy, and here is our problem. We have been using Altova's StyleVision to create report template, and present them in both HTML (through XSLT) and PDF (through XSL:FO). StyleVision knows how to create both transformations from the same "design" (for lack of a better term).As you know, the design is created in their propietary SPS representation.
We are considering switching to InfoPath for creating the "design" (since it is a much simpler WYSIWYG tool) and generating the XSLT, but need an XSL:FO definition to go with it (the actual rendering can be done by many tools, such as renderx). This is required for PDF output, controling pagination, having non-trivial headers and footers etc.
We considered using StyleVision for this, as you suggest in http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.office.xml/browse_thread/thread/97171513acf21ebc/4223f2151b0ffb39. But we do not want to create the XSL:FO transformation from scratch, rather we would love to have a way to generate it from the existing XSLT transformation + the XML data (to answer your question on where the data would come from).
Can Stylus or any other tool you know of accomplish that?
Thanks,
-- Shaul
