I'm not sure that this is an easy task.
However, I agree that docbook-to-pdf processing provides a nice
(and wildly popular) use case. In this light, would it be possible
to set up a benchmark, i.e. turning the test suite into a progress
meter so people can see how xmlroff gets closer to that goal ?

Sorry, I'v ment to help a bit with the testing infrastructure before.
May be I could look into this ?
