Jaromir has assisted in working out that for some reason FOP doesn't like the Author_Group content:

   <authorgroup>
       <corpauthor>
           Fedora Project Contributors
       </corpauthor>
   </authorgroup>

This is however content that is valid as per the standard and also in use in other guides that build! For now I have:

1) Raised https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=756864

2) Commented out the Author_Group (the corpauthor is the only entry) to allow PDF builds to succeed.

3) Updated the f16 branch for this guide to:
   - Remove the draft status.
   - Update the links to files which change each release, as instructed in Musicians_Guide.xml.

4) Pushed as per instructions at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Publishing_a_document_with_Publican

Please let me know if there is anything I could/should do to further progress this.

Thanks,

Steve
