I'm rather interested in this one, did anyone ever try it out?
Yes but only really for very early drafts of XSLT.
Once XSLT gained the text output method TeXML rather lost its
attraction as it's just as easy to generate the tex directly
than to generate the xml-ised tex and it's a whole lot easier to process
it.
