yes, passivetex (which is used by xmlto to process XML-FO) is not as stable as I thought. It breaks at strange times but I did not yet had the energy to really look into it. So we probably have to support db2pdf/ps again.

you should be able to put the following lines into stylesheet.xsl: <param name="paper.width">6in</param> <param name="paper.height">11in</param>
would it be easy enough if I provided some commented out entries? (well the above only works for xmlto, I don't know how to set the paper size for db2*)

you can insert graphics with <mediaobject><imageobject> <imagedata fileref="blah.png" format="PNG"/> </imageobject></mediaobject> (See http://www.faqs.org/docs/docbook/html/mediaobject.html)
The above generates an <img src="blah.png"> in HTML mode. Is that what you want?
