Mathew:
It's too broad a question to be answered in few words. You need to look
at, at least, two things.
1. XSL-FO is still a working draft. They specifically tell you that they
will not be constrained by implementations when making changes. It is
also this changing specification that drives the development of FOP so,
as soon as it's possible after a new draft is out, they update FOP to
comply with the new draft... and that will not change until XSL-FO
becomes a standard.
2. Right now there are 3 or 4 different products that support FO one way
or another. Two of those (Renderx and FOP) work only with HTML, another
one works with TEX...
The combination of those two factors that make me say... use it but be
aware that it may not be as stable as you'd like for a prodcution
environment.
