With <?troff .request?> processing instructions, this makes
it possible to retain all the typographical aspects we like.

XSL-FO to troff is also worth consideration.

XSL-FO to troff would be far more appropriate. XSL and troff are at about the same level; thus, you wouldn't have to wire in all the policy/ styling

For those of us not up to speed on all the current jargon, would you explain
what XSL and FO are?

Cordially,
