I am puzzled as to what other people are using DSSSL for, if not in this
very way. Yes, there is a side show with Jade of using it as a
transformation system for SGML to HTML (which is very nice, thank you
James), but otherwise one writes style sheets which describe the
output in terms of abstract flow objects. Using Jade you get identical
results from the TeX and RTF back ends (modulo errors/lacks in either
backend), just what you want, surely?
