I'm not sure I understand the question. xsltproc, as well as saxon and xalan,
produce fo, to be fed into xmlroff. Correct ?
So, in this line of thought, xmlroff shouldn't really care. Of course, if
xmlroff is itself calling xsltproc internally (to provide a convenient
wrapper that transforms directly from docbook xml to pdf), things look different.

That being said, I think there are a number of extensions that I would love
to be able to use, but can't because I'm not using saxon or xalan, such as
programlistings with line numbering (and some associated callout features).

So, +1 from me for such an RFE.

Thanks,
