... How do you plan to handle RTF styles?
In jfor we defined an extension to XSL-FO (the "jfor-style" attribute) to control RTF styles.
Another way would be to recognize sets of attribute values in the input XSL-FO and map them to RTF styles.
I think some form of extension is needed as (AFAIK) the concept of styles does not exist in XSL-FO, as it is meant for printed output.
If you import XML in the newest versions of FrameMaker for example, you have to define a kind of "style map" which recognizes specific constructions in the XML and assigns styles to them. This might also be an option, use a second input file that tells FOP which (MIF or RTF) styles to assign when certain patterns are recognized in the input.
...Is it difficult to transform tables and lists?
Not too much, but when we developed jfor we targeted it at RTF 1.5 which as no support for nested tables, so we had to fake them using joined cells (as older versions of Word did).
Other than that, the tables and lists structures of XSL-FO map nicely to RTF. Possible problems are relative dimensions, for example it might be hard in RTF to say that a table must take 60% of the page height.
