You can also ask on the ReportLab mailing list.  Just be aware that
the RML implementation we use isn't ReportLab's.  So basically I'd
just ask if ReportLab can do it.  And if the answer is "no," it
definitely can't be done in RML.  I'm not sure who we ask about the
RML implementation, aside from perhaps Stephan, since he did a lot of
the work on it.

Also, the POV crew does a lot with ReportLab, so they probably know as
well as anyone.
