Ross suggested working with forrest on a plugin -- and I think you're seeing action related to that with his Jira entry. (My! that was fast!)
Ross said it was ok to forward his email (and his offer of help) to the list.

[...] I do think a DITA plugin is an excellent idea and I would be happy to help the Derby project create one.
It may be a good idea to point out that plugins are downloaded independently of Forrest. So the license of included tools is not important. If it is not compatible with ASL2 we simply host the plugin elsewhere. This would allow us to maximise reuse of other projects stylesheets.
I don't know DITA, or the toolkits available so I have no idea if this is the best approach for you. What I do know is we want to make Forrest plugins enable this kind of thing.
I hope to see someone from Derby, with a knowledge of DITA and available tools on the Forrest Dev or Users list where we can explore this further.
