Some sources... * XSL-FO renderer vendors having increased sales in the publishing area; * consultants to publishers, and publishers themselves, attending XSL-FO related events (markupforum, XML Prague, W3C Workhops on publishing) * public presentations at said events E.g. Hachette has moved from XSL-FO to XHTML + CSS so they can share CSS between epub and print more easily; Penguin said at the XSL-Fo meetup in Prague a couple of years ago that they used XSL-Fo for all of their mostly-text/prose books such as fiction; that's two of the Big Six (or Big N) right there. Similarly at JATS-Con (a conference for STM journal publishers) there were quite a few Antenna House users, enough that Antenna House staff were there. W3C has been relatively active in publishing (both print and epub) in the past year or so. I do have additional data that I can't share (sorry) but maybe others can contribute some.
