You use Jade/OpenJade using those very same DSSSL stylesheets. Or, in
addition, you can now also use numerous XSLT and XSL processors.
For jade, you change
jade [lots of options here] mydoc.sgml
to
jade [lots of options here] /usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl mydoc.xml
Saxon is a good XSLT processor, although it uses Java and as far as I
know does not (yet?) work using Kaffe. Sablotron is one in C++ and
libxslt is written in C.
Then if you want to switch to XSL-FO you can use Apache's FOP (Java) or
passivetex (TeX).
All mentioned software is Free / Open Source. There are commercial
products as well of course. Google will happily provide links.
