If you haven't been paying attention to the Publican list recently then you may not have seen that Publican 3 is now out.  IIRC it has only been pushed to users of RHEL for now.  This is a major accomplishment for the Publican team and we'll begin reaping the benefits as soon as we can figure out the web site of the house.

One piece of this puzzle is the ability to replace fop with wkhtmltopdf as the engine to create PDFs.  Unfortunately there is a problem with wkhtmltopdf that prevents us from using it in Fedora.  This means that for the time being we'll have to continue to use fop but that isn't a great solution.  I can't recall all the problems with fop, off hand, but I hear that wkhtmltopdf is both better and worse.

I'm hoping that Rudi will give us a rundown on the issues with wkhtmltopdf and what needs to happen to get it into Fedora.  I'll volunteer to help package it if we know the what the issues are and can get a game plan around fixing them.
