Thanks for the kind words, and we look forward to receiving PATCHes 
from you. Here's a link to help you get started.

BTW I have a couple of questions:
- if we like what we see (I get an error--see below), can we post this 
example PDF?
- if we like what we see (I get an error--see below), can we post the 
input files (XSL-FO, XML, XSLT, etc.)?

Unfortunately, I get an error when I try to view those links:

HTTP Error 403.6 - Forbidden: IP address of the client has been 
rejected.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

Perhaps after you've participated in the FOP community for some time, 
and your name becomes familiar to us (and hopefully made some 
contributions to the code! :-p) you may be invited to become a 
committer for Apache FOP!

Cheers!
