XML to TIFF CITT conversion - aid requested

Hello,

I've been working on a project to transform XML to TIFF in the CITT G4
Format and have read several threads regarding the conversion, which has
lead me to believe conversion is a common problem among users.

Most of the G4 TIFF-related threads end with guru JM providing an
explanation, but with no follow-up response from the thread-starting
user as to whether the explanation/solution worked.  I promise if my
issue gets resolved, I will post a success story as a follow-up to this
thread.

Here is my situation:

I am trying to convert a FOP-readable xml file into a G4 TIFF.  No
matter what I do, it applies as PackBits.  

In addition to resolving this, I am curious as to why there appears to
be no programmatic way to set CCITT compression within the code (ex: a
setCompression(String) method), when TIFFRenderer even contains String
constants representing the three available compression types.

Also, I could not find a sample configuration file in the distribution;
maybe I missed it.

Any help / advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

JARS on CLASSPATH:
avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar
batik-all-1.6.jar
commons-io-1.3.1.jar
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
fop.jar (implementation.94)

FILES:
There are 3 files involved in this (contents follow)

FILE 1 - testFop.xml 
This is the fop formatted xml; I've successfully transformed it to
PostScript and Tiff.

FILE 2 - tiffFopConfig.xml
This only contains the compression line for CCITT T.6

FILE 3 - FopTiffTester.javaThis is the java file for conversion.  The
code is abstracted from my own larger codebase where I do instantiate a
single fopFactory and perform best practices - no need for best
practices on this example, IMHO.  :-)
