OK. Not unreasonable.

!Oh.
  Is that a value judgement, or more commonly accepted?

I can see what you want... I don't see how Bob's stylesheets
can choose (png =>html, ...eps=>xsl-fo (pdf) output)
 Hang on, you have a 'animation.pdf' *image*
Now I don't understand what that is. You said EPS for the print.

Sorry Camille, I'm still confused, and very curious.

Sorry if I seem thick. I just don't understand.
But perhaps I'm not all that picky on image quality.

Any references please anyone?
Use X for html Y for print.
