If you send me (mailto:[email protected]) a .zip or .tar.gz archive 
containing:

* A simple map file, possibly making use of your condition processing 
attributes (e.g. product, platform, audience, etc).

* One or more topic files, some of them possibly making use of your 
condition processing attributes.

* Your DITAVAL file.

then I should be able to tell you what's going wrong.

If you cannot do that then there is *no* *way* for me to help you, even 
if you upgrade to latest version of XMLmind XSL-FO Converter.

In principle the answer is no. However I have no idea about the changes 
you made to our stock DITA XSLT 2.0 stylesheets.

Latest version has been released yesterday. It's version 5.2.0. See 
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/changes.html

Product fc-desk --XMLmind XSL-FO Converter for Java
Desktop License--- costs USD340 per user.

XSLT 2.0 stylesheet updates, yes; DTD updates, no (DITA 1.2 is a stable 
OASIS standard).
