Just a quick observation: If you really prefer to think in terms of
generating TeX rather than XSL-FO, IBM published a technology
demonstration quite some time ago which consisted of a XML equivalent
syntax for LaTeX and a postprocessor that would convert this into standard
LaTeX markup. It might still be available from the alphaWorks website.
You mean TeXML? The problem with that is that it constrains the XML you
use in your original documents. XSL-FO doesn't make that assumption, and
I think that's a big argument in favor of XSL-FO. The constraint we've
been considering in this discussion has only been with the XSLT recipes:
should they transform arbitrary XML into XSL-FO or into something else?
Be well,
