Mark, I've been a major contributor to the FDP/DocBook, mostly in the tools area. I've developed some XMLTO patches that will let us use FOP et. al. and ASUI, Tim Waugh -- the XMLTO maintainer -- is hanging fire waiting for there to actually be a native FOP package. I'm not sure what you're asking for here, so I'll shotgun a bunch of points in the hope one will be near the mark. As far as batik is concerned, we would mostly be using it via FOP; batik would not absolutely need to be packaged separately, but it would be nice to use standalone. If I were assigning the priority, I'd want batik-like function via the FOP interface rather than standalone batik. The preferred rendering would be to PNG objects first, with a JPG alternative a middling second. No GIF, TIF and all the rest needed. I'm sure Karsten and Paul W Frields will weigh in later, but this should be close. Cheers, HTH
