Recently I've been taking a look at how far along the xmlroff project
is (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlroff), and whether it can meet
the needs of the Fedora Project documentation yet.

The short answer is that it cannot yet do all that we need; most
notably, the implementation of images is in flux and so they do not
work at the moment.  The upstream maintainer looks to have a good idea
of how it should be done, and has posted a step-by-step list on the
xmlroff mailing list:

  http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=6775778&forum_id=29261

However, aside from images, what other things would we need from an
XSL-FO processor?  My thinking is that if "all" that's missing for us
in xmlroff is the images rewrite, it might be quite a nice project to
focus on.
