At the time we came to the conclusion that the first technique you mention (writing a stylesheet that does an "identity transform" on the .fot file within a standard Jade run) was the only feasible way to go. However, it would be wonderful to have an expat-to-back-end linkup instead. Do you have in mind something which would work with standard DSSSL .fot output, or is the idea to support .fot output that represents the XSL formatting objects (which I assume will be different)?
