I understand. This is really a problem. * Saxon (or is it the XSLT style sheet?) just issues this warning: Warning: multiple "IDs" for constraint linkend: limitation_list. * Both FOP 0.20.5 and FOP 0.92beta throw a ValidationException and stop working. * RenderX XEP happily converts the XSL-FO to PDF. * Same with XMLmind FO Converter. > Any idea how to deal with this?

Well, with FOP 0.92beta, using configuration parameter strict-validation=false or using command-line option -r should have forced FOP to ignore such benign validation error. But unfortunately I cannot get that to work. I'll post a RFE?/Bug report? to the FOP mailing list. (If you could do the same thing, it would be nice: two votes are better than one.)
