Robert,
I am also interested in doing this. There are 2 other possible
solutions as I see it:
1. Use Adobe API to generate PDF (may have nothing to do with XSL)
2. Use an XSL stylesheet to create a FDF (Forms Definition File)
Adobe reader can overlay the PDF and FDF yielding your form.
Has anybody else attempted #2?

There is a program written in C with source that
converts HTML into PDF called HTMLDOC.
