Rendering XSL FO --> PDF is a pretty complex task and I would be surprised if you find any "simple" applications to do it. By "simple" I mean apps that don't require that you have already installed a parser, etc. Adobe Document Server (http://www.adobe.com/products/server/documentserver/main.html) lists among its key features that it can "Flow XML data into templates using standard XSL-FO formatting". This is only one of eleven key features so one can hardly say it is the main focus of the product but it seems like Adobe is paying some attention to rendering XSL FO. But this, like FOP, is a product intended for server-side use and for much the same reasons I suspect.
