As opposed to what for cooking "PDF via XML" files? Because I can assure you than feeding rando.odt into $(libreoffice -pdf $TMPDIR/ohgawd) is 100% not the same as $(fop -fo $TMPDIR/my.fo -pdf $TMPDIR/out.pdf)

As opposed to code in e.g. Java that uses the built-in XML APIs and some third party PDF output lib.
