Hi,
after some manual interventions (which must become part of an algorithm)
it's possible to created the complete PDF file for the db4 production
chain: *.sgml -- (perl) --> *.xml and after that step: postgres.xml --
(evaluate XInclude with xmllint) --> postgres_all.xml -- (xsltproc using
standard db4 stylesheet) --> postgres_all.fo -- (fop) -->
postgres_all.pdf. The fo/pdf generation takes about 1 minute.
Actually the layout of the resulting pdf file differs from the original
one as I used only standard scripts without any adoption to the
PostgreSQL styles. Additionally I'm missing some of the links.

Ouch. What about output to PDF? While we don't care as much about
that as HTML for day-to-day use, it has to be feasible (ie, not hours).

Actually I made tests using fop on single files (the converted sgml
files). This works within seconds and in my very first mail from
2016-04-20 I added the results for the 'advanced.xml' file. When I try
to convert the complete 'postgres_all.xml' file, fop crashes after
some minutes. As fop is a Java application, it is possible that the
assigned main memory is short (-Xms -Xmx, ...) - or it comes from some
other Java specific issues. I will work on this in the next days.
