No, I haven't tried it. I will try it ASAP.

Yes, quite interesting; I think that theorically S. Rahtz is right, since his
opinion is consistent with a full integrated XML/SGML solution, but practically
it seems not so easy to have a good PDF output (non-mature FO tools, difficult to
use and customize, no documentation available, etc.). That's why I appreciate the
M. Goossens reply that is more pragmatic, since he wants to have things working
now.
