Hi Bob,
Thank you. I guess I'll have to do something else then if hotspots on

Hi Tyson,
In general docbook documents are transformed to an intermediate
representation before they are processed to pdf. The intermediate
representation is FO (formatting objects).
Have you tried to write down a couple of formatting objects (FO) that FOP is
capable of processing them to pdf as

Ben and Tyson:
Callouts on images are very different than image maps. To get image
callouts to work with docbook you have to use either Saxon or Xalan as they
need extension packages written for the specific processors (the
functionality does not work with XSLT 1.0 stylesheets)

After reading the section I indicated from Bob's book I realized that
you're correct. You can not do callouts on image files even when using the
Java Extensions. The explanation for using the callout images as explained
in Bob's book is still valid.
Question for the Java/XSL experts on the
As much as I love XSLT (half-kidding here), I have several
applications to generate PDFs from databases, and from other
sources that XSLT can't reach directly.
Since I discovered SQLAlchemy (http://www.sqlalchemy.org), life
is much nicer: In Python, I can pull data from SQL databases
without
