Martin,

there is a choice. The list of tools also includes 

RenderX XEP, 
AntennaHouse XSL FO Formatter,
ArborText's implementation,
PassiveTeX
IBM's XFC

and others. At least one of them is written in C++, and
at least three implementations of those I know about
use TeX as the rendering backend.

According to what Arved and Ilya say we are going to have
to more implementations soon :-).
