I think No  and never is a little harsh -- afterall,
acrobat reader IS a pdf renderer engine -- if Alastair
ran his transformation as a dynamic server side
transformation to pdf, then
wouldn't the display of the resultant text in the
reader plug in be pretty much what Alastair asked for
in the first place?

But how to get XSL Fo to PDF? Alistair spoke of a client-only solution like XSLT with MSXML in IE. That's not possible. So "never" until there will be a FOP-like plugin. Of course you can run a server/servlet like Cocoon 2 with integrated FOP to produce PDFs.
