Does this mean the bug is in fop and not xmlto?

> Hi.  When trying to figure out how to make sure my docbook sidebars end up on the side of the text, I tried following the instructions on <URL: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SideFloats.html > and wrote a simple example docbook file to test floating sidebars.  This do not work and I get a message about a missing feature.  Please add support for sidebars placed at the side of the text body.
> When processing my example, I get this message and the sidebar has disappeared from the resulting PDF:
> {noformat}
>  % xmlto --with-fop pdf db-sidebar-test.xml
>   Making portrait pages on letter paper (215.9mmx279.4mm)
>   Font "Symbol,normal,700" not found. Substituting with "Symbol,normal,400".
>   Font "ZapfDingbats,normal,700" not found. Substituting with
> "ZapfDingbats,normal,400".
>   Rendered page #1.
>   Couldn't find hyphenation pattern for lang="en".
>   Rendered page #2.
>   The following feature isn't implemented by Apache FOP, yet: fo:float (on

> I tried using both fop 1.1 and 2.1, and both fail to create a PDF with a sidebar.
