 From XSL Utility page:

XSL Utility is a graphical tool that was designed to make evaluation of 
XFC easier. It can be used to convert XML documents to RTF, WML and 
other formats such as PostScript and PDF. (For output formats other than 
RTF and WML, XSL Utility relies on Open Source components.) XSL Utility 
includes:
Norman Walsh's XSL stylesheets for DocBook, Simplified DocBook and Slides
Michael Kay's Saxon XSLT engine
Apache FOP FO processor


So it means that XSL Utility is a just wrapper for FOP FO processor if 
you are inetersted in PDF output. Unfortunately outupt from FOP can't be 
considered as of professional quality (OK it depends on your definition 
of professional quality, but in my definition FOP isn't here yet).
