Umm, yeah 0.20.5 is labled as stable and 0.92 just beta
and it will take some month until Apache FOP 1.0 is
released but in fact I can't think of any reason to
stick with the old 0.20.5.

Some of the new features:
-PNGs will work without extra jars
-page-position="last" is implemented
-RTF-Renderer is included
-new AFP-Renderer
-keep-* properties are working on blocks
-PostScript-Extensions (for example tray selection)
-AutoTableLayout will be coming soon (GSoC project)
and a lot more ..

There could be some minor problems with some stylesheets .. erm ..
templates .. because 0.92 is more strict (conformant to the spec) than
0.20.5.

So if want a FOP upgrade (and I hope you do ;-) I'm happy to make all
the necessary changes (including comparing all pdf reports) and send a
patch.
