correct, more or less.

put xmltex files in
/usr/share/texmf/tex/xmltex/base
then run mktexlsr to get it all recognized. now you can make yourself
a file foo.tex which looks like this
\def\xmlfile{foo.xml}
\input xmltex.tex
\end{document}
and run latex on it (where foo.xml is your XML input)

PS PassiveTeX is not conforming to the March 2000 spec at present. I
realized last night that it badly misinterprets complex page
sequences. but then I bet Norm's docbook XSL styles don't produce
correct XSL either :-}
