I am proud to relaunch my TeX-based system for formatting XSL formatting objects, at:
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~rahtz/passivetex/.
The actual capabilities of the package are not that much changed (and it isn't quite XSL-FO 2000 yet), but it has had many internal changes, and seen more use (to format a whole book here, for instance).
Most significantly, PassiveTeX has been rewritten to use David Carlisle's "xmltex" XML parser written in TeX, an amazing piece of work I commend to everyone.
My next stage of work is to revisit the RenderX test files, and see how much of their work I can replicate. Ditto FOP.
