I forgot to add that it works fine with FOP, which may be my next package (I'm more interested in transformations than presentation, so I'll be glad to let someone else play with FOP).

[Background: in the draft of the week, XSL is made of two languages, one to transform XML to XML (changing the DTD) and one to create "formatting objects", which have presentation attributes (font size, etc).

XT implements only the transformation one, with non-standard extensions to transform into something else than XML (HTML or even any data).

FOP implements only the second one. It relies on a transformer like XT to create a XML file containing the formatting objects, which it translates into PDF after that.]
