If the FOP-based build works better than Jade, by all means let's use 
that.  Last time I looked at FOP (years ago, admittedly), it broke at 
about page 10.  Obviously, Guillaume and company are getting better 
results now.

What I would like to know, however, is whether FOP runs on a Free(tm) 
Java implementation.  It seems that you need Sun's JDK to run it and 
that will be a problem if it's to become our primary build method.
