Victor, FOP has no control over any downstream uses of generated PDF, clearly. Any project that works with the PDF is logically independent of FOP, so it would belong in a separate project, as you suggest. It would be unfortunate if folks got the idea that FOP was somehow more fully realised in a Windows/Mac environment.
I may be drawing a long bow in saying that x-platform accessibility is a basic assumption of the XML sub-projects. It just seems to have panned out that way, and I'm pleased about that.
