I can transform to fo (I use xml docbook) with at least Xalan-J, but
using PassiveTex to get even simple documents (no math) to pdf form

Tex markup rendered into the pdf as text.
I think you are referring to dimension arithmetic in recent versions of
the fo stylesheets that PassiveTeX does not know how to handle. I still
use the 1.61.3 stylesheets for that reason, and get acceptable results
with PassiveTeX (which I use solely because of my math content).
Note though that PassiveTeX's MathML capabilities are limited. I code
all non-trivial math in TeX, which is automatically converted to MathML
for the HTML backend.
