New feature: Intermediate Format

[Jeremias Maerki <de...@jeremias-maerki.ch>]

As most of you will have see in the meantime, I've committed [1] the
first version of the "Intermediate Format" which I started to describe
in [1] about 6 months ago. I've already started to document it [3]. If
there are any big question marks about it, I'm glad to explain more and
improve the documentation.

PS: I've redeployed the FOP website a few minutes ago.

I'm sure that, over time, many folks will find IF to be handy for solving
their problems.

I don't have an immediate use for it, but I am finding that the complexity
of my projects is increasing as new clients bring new requirements.
Consequently, I expect that I will run into a situation where IF will be
useful in the not-too-distant future.
