OK. I added '<fo:wrapper
font-family="ZapfDingbats">&#x2192;</fo:wrapper>' to book.xml. It
failed xsltproc validation, and caused a FOPException.

I think the best thing to do is say 'F**k It' - let O'Reilly deal with
this mess since they are the printers and they require the format. I'm
a fool for suffering someone else's printing/type setting problems
this long.
