html2fo
In regards to the XHTML to PDF transformations and the responses received 
from my original post:

David,

Yes, I am aware of html2fo, although I haven't played with it yet.  My 
question was more to the observation that there weren't more of these or, 
in other words, the technology hadn't matured to the point I was thinking 
it should have (being new to the technology).   I was also puzzled that it 
seemed like the html2fo download on sourceforge hadn't been updated since 
spring of last year.  That made me wonder why there hasn't been more 
updates since then...

Charles,

Thanks for suggesting Cocoon.  Actually I installed Cocoon last week and 
have been looking at the samples and tutorials since.  It looks great, but 
do I really need a whole publishing framework?  I guess Cocoon is striking 
me as overkill. Either I adopt Cocoon for everything or nothing.

Wendell,

Thanks very much for the thoughtful response.  My take-home message there 
is that the methods are maturing to the point where the transformations 
are now, at least, possible, but the HTML/XHTML variations mean that the 
results of transforming to PDF are mixed at best.  The cost/benefit ratio 
isn't where it needs to be.

Thanks all!
