...I think so. There are however a few interesting approaches...
Sure, and the ones you mention sound interesting provided the resources
are here to implement them - which is not the case I think.
As there are currently few people available to work on FOP, I don't
think it is feasible to implement any of your suggestions without
losing the focus which IMHO should be to deliver a usable version from
the trunk code.
Having sophisticated automated tests would be great, but having a
well-defined simple "visual test suite" is much better than nothing.
Probably reorganizing/sorting out existing test docs would help a lot
already.
My suggestion is to (initially) stick to self-describing XSL-FO test
documents, which produce PDF documents that one can check by simply
reading them. The initial cost of setting this up is zero, and everyone
can create a test document to show a particular problem.
