[xmlroff] Texinfo-XML-to-FO stylesheet?

[Tony Graham]

Anybody want to do some XSLT?  See http://xmlroff.org/ticket/59:

If xmlroff could format Texinfo documents, it would be more useful on
Unix/Linux systems.

Texinfo (http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/) "is the official
documentation format of the GNU project."

The makeinfo utility produces XML output:

    (Generated via makeinfo --xml.) XML is a generic syntax
    specification usable for any sort of content (see, for example,
    http://www.w3.org/XML/). The makeinfo xml output, unlike all the
    formats above, interprets very little of the Texinfo source. Rather,
    it merely translates the Texinfo markup commands into XML syntax,
    for processing by further XML tools. The particular syntax output is
    defined in the file texinfo.dtd included in the Texinfo source
    distribution. 
    (http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/texinfo.html#Output-Formats)

A standalone stylesheet would be useful, but once it was working well,
it could be baked into xmlroff in the manner of the compatibility
stylesheet so that Unix/Linux users can use xmlroff by itself to format
documentation.

Tony.
