Re: using olinks everywhere?

The problem with FOP, including version 2.5, is that it does not write 
the original ID values from the DocBook file into the PDF, but 
substitutes different IDs.  So although DocBook XSL creates the right 
syntax for linking into the middle of a PDF document, the target IDs 
don't exist in FOP's PDF.
