FOP compatibility status? 0.70.1 qandaset + FOP 0.20.5 = :(

    Hi all -

    So I've run into the FOP 0.20.5 bug where DocBook's qandaset, through
    DocBook XSLT 0.70.1, sometimes causes FOP to throw an oddball "The id
    "xxx" already exists in this document". This appears to have been
    reported as FOP bug 14962:

    http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14962

    The bug was resolved as "fixed in 0.90alpha", and no updates were made to
    the 0.20.5 branch. The "latest" branch for FOP is up to 0.92beta.

    I can't get simple books to build with FOP 0.92beta, but recent traffic on
    this list implies some people have been successful with it. Is XSLT
    0.70.1 expected to work with FOP 0.92beta? Is 0.71.1? Or are only the
    DB5 templates working with the latest FOP at this time?

    Is it generally accepted that the DB4 templates and FOP 0.20.5 together do
    not provide a usable implementation for qandaset? Or am I missing
    something?

    Thanks for any assistance you can provide!
