Thanks for the tips. I tried out apache's FOP, with medium success.
There are a lot of missing features, and even some bugs. For example
a book.fo document I just generated with 4xslt with the fo/docbook.xsl
contains references to 'url(figures/prototype.jpg)', which FOP can't
find (I get an error from FOP like

/home/stefan/Berlin/Berlin/doc/Tutorial/Berlin/url(figures/resolve.jpg) (No such file or directory)
Is this a FOP bug or a docbook.xsl bug ?
