  I had to insert crude hacks into the XML::XPathScript modules (some
functions get patched from inside the stylesheet :-), and so this
behaviour would need porting to AxKit. Also I do not know exactly how
well Axkit can perform the remaining phases of the PDF translation
(TeX -> dvi -> pdf).

  I'm attempting this right now (if I manage to subscribe to the list :-).

  Great! I just wish I could get some help on how to share the
XPathScript engine between AxKit and the offline version. Anyone on
the list interested?

  OK I will dig through the list archives. Thanks!

  Good idea too.
