passivetex support

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

I'm proposing that support for the Passivetex XSL-FO processor in the XSL stylesheets 
be discontinued.  When the DocBook XSL project was just getting started, Passivetex 
was one of two free XSL-FO processors (FOP was the other).  Passivetex never fully 
implemented the standard, development ceased about 8 years ago, and its author 
admitted it was mostly a proof-of-concept project. The DocBook XSL stylesheets have a 
'passivetex.extensions' parameter, which is mostly used to compensate for and 
workaround the things it does not support. Today, FOP does a much better job, and is 
supported.

So I wanted to ask the mailing list if anyone is using it, and needs to continue using 
it.  If not, we will be removing the 'passivetex.extensions' param and all the code 
that references it.
