If you are ready to go with commercial product, then it makes a sense to
look at non-XSL-FO products too.

E.g. www.faceless.org has Faceless report generator. Its advantage is that
its input format is very similar to HTML, you have to make it valid xml
document (<br/> instead of <br>) though. So, if you want to generate the
HTML document, then the XSLT template is almost the same. FOP doesn't
generate HTML. RenderX provides fo2html script to make HTML out of XSL-FO,
but it's an extra step from XML content.

Faceless reporter may be integrated into Cocoon as a serializer, I've done
for fun, works well.
