for the folks who want to play along with testing what does
and does not work with docbook->PDF rendering, one of the test
environments i find useful is tim waugh's "selfdocbookx" example,
that you can download from www.cyberelk.net/tim/docbook/index.html.

  at the bottom of that page, you can find a link to the source
for the XML version, which is a tar ball containing a document,
Makfile and associated support files from which you can easily
generate HTML, FO and PDF.

  at the moment, the makefile uses passivetex for the FO and
PDF transformations, and *that's* the part i'm replacing with
FOP to see the difference.

  it's worth downloading that and seeing the FO and PDF generated
by passivetex so you can compare it to what comes out of FOP,
which is what i'm playing with at the moment.

  if you want to do this, you should make sure that you have
the latest versions of 

  docbook-style-xsl (1.60.1)
  passivetex (1.23)

  from tim's test environment, you can quickly see what parts
FOP is having problems with.

  more later, as i poke around with this.
