Jeff,

I use xsltproc to produce FO output and then PassiveTeX
to produce PDF/PS output.

Of course, the FO file doesn't contain the file extension;
it is automatically added by PassiveTeX.

In the example I sent you this morning, PuassiveTeX would
append the ".ps" extension when generating PS output
and the ".pdf" extension when generating PDF output.

I think it would be nice if the stylesheet would automatically
append the file extension in accordance to the "format" attribute.

What do you think about?
