This is a really nice idea. I can't wait to see Latex-Quality
printouts with proper pagination rolling out of Forrest.

Does it make sense to base all transformations on XHTML2 (out soon to
be meta-format) rather than document13?

I would love to say yes, but then the danger is not actually getting the move to XHTML2 done. We keep agreeing it should be done (for around 2 years now), but we seem to be failing in actually tackling the job because it is such a major task.

At present I am thinking the only way it will ever happen is if we have a complete rewrite of Forrest from the bottom up.

Personally, I think the only way it is ever going to happen, with the current method of working, is if an individual just does it. How long it will be before one of us has that kind of time is anyones guess.

Therefore, I (that is, me as an individual, this is not necessarily the view of the community) would recommend using XDoc for fear of waiting forever to make XHTML2 usable.
