I wonder if there are any XML to PDF translators out there?  (But I'm just
too lazy to look)  I know you can translate TEX to PDF, which might be an
option here.

It seems to me that it'd be more versatile to output to something like
XML, then use existing translators to go to PDF or whatever else we might
want in the future.

But maybe I'm living in dreamland :)
