Why not XML + XSLT -> LaTeX -> pdflatex -> PDF?

LaTeX output is, in terms of XSLT, just another output format.  Then
pdflatex can do the right thing with your ToC and the rest.

A program I've been looking at, PHPReports, has the reports being described
by an XML file itself, so it's pretty much XML + XML + XSLT and so on.  If
you need to design reports easily, and don't want to screw with your XSLT
all the time, that could be another tidy option.
