The DSSSL/jade/jadetex path is also not more mature, if by
"mature" you mean "better" and not just "old".

The current open-source XSL-FO engines may not be mature, but
there are non-open-source XSL-FO engines that are very mature. One
of them, XEP, is even no-cost, as long as you are using it for
non-commercial purposes (like, say, producing documentation for
open-source applications).
