That sounds like a most interesting approach since it transforms to
latex. The dvi, PostScript and PDF results are then produced from
that latex source using native latex, dvips, etc. tools which I am
familiar with. Has anybody compared dblatex results for PostScript
and PDF to what you get with a FOP-based approach? (I will obviously
be doing that comparison myself when I get a chance, but I am curious
about what other's comparisons have shown as well.)

Thanks for that reference and all the other valuable advice you have
given to help PLplot make a better choice for its backend tools.
