Yes, it has. Nobody has yet solved problem, and at least I have tried...
without any success.

But... there are other tools too. Like Fop, written in Java. And I think I
have some success with it. Is it ok if I send you a sample off-the-list
(approx. 300k)? It's far from perfect, Fop is an xsl processor and the
xsl-stylesheets should be tuned for PHP documentation, but if the
characters are right, this could be a good reason to start that work.
