I'd welcome advice as to which path I should go down. The main choices
seem to be:
  1a. Make a style sheet and view in firefox then print to PDF.
  1b. Use XSL to convert to HTML (then to PDF using firefox)

Or, 3. Directly output PDF from XML.

I am guessing that your XML is not written using a TEI DTD or schema, but if you could convert it to TEI format, then I guess you could use Sebastian Rahtz's style sheets to generate PDF directly. If this is just a one time thing, it's probably not worth the trouble, but if you expect to do it often, you might want to check into TEI.

Same thing with DocBook

http://www.docbook.org/

It's made for computer manuals and the tools and stylesheets are included in most distros.
