(This is more of a docbook-apps question.) It is possible that it is worthwhile; it depends on your requirements. Con: PassiveTeX is not being developed any more (as far as I know) and active support for it has been dropped in DocBook XSL: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200509/msg00110.html. Pro: There are people who do use PassiveTeX and manage to work around some of the problems (including the one you refer to): http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook/200509/msg00032.html. DocBook XSL v1.34 is rather old, but maybe you have good reasons to stick with it. /MJ
