Yes, you are right. PassiveTeX is yet another opportunity,
although installing the right version of TeX is a bit
prohibiting for a casual user. Besides that, I didn't find
at the site mentioned a definitive list of what is supported
and what is not by the formatter. If it were possible to check
the program against the tests published at
http://www.renderx.com/Demo/index.html
it would help a lot to estimate it's full-featuredness.
Unfortunately, the only xsl fo available as an example of
PassiveTeX's functionality is not an XSL FO, since it contains
'custom' elements (fotex:bookmark).
