This is interesting stuff, but it seems to me
that the "right" way to
architect such a feature following X3C recommendations, would be to
produce xsl-fo either directly from the wikitext, or by transforming
the XHTML version, and then produce pdf from the XSL-FO using Apache
FOP, or a toolchain like passivetex.
I was pretty frustrated with FOP when I tried it a year or so ago; lots of
features were unimplemented or required weird workarounds.
Is it better these days?
I don't know, I haven't tried it myself. There are alternatives like
going via LaTex using passivetex. I do think that XSL-FO is the right
architecture, it just needs the right implementation.
