I say "doesn't handle", you say "ignored". That is not the same.  FOP 0.93 
does handle extensions, just not this one. So it fails when generating PDF 
bookmarks.
The 0.94 release notes say it supports named destinations, but I haven't seen 
that working yet.

I get java null pointer exceptions when it tries to load the bitmaps of the 
pictures. I'm not sure what that is about, maybe fop, xalan and xerces aren't 
playing nice.
