This may not be the problem, but PassiveTeX doesn't yet understand
relative column widths, so you will probably need to specify
absolution column widths (e.g. <colspec colwidth="2cm"/>) <tgroup> in
either <informaltable> or <table>.  

You might want to post a short test DocBook XML document (just an
article containing a table) that reproduces the problem.

GG> I'm using xsl-stylesheets 1.54.1.
