Maybe I can answer this. I have played with this a bit today and have some
good and bad news:

1. Bad news: I have just noticed that cyrillics get converted to entities after using
xsltproc. For example, it's (hope it doesn't get converted)

<title>&#x420;&#x443;&#x43A;&#x43E;&#x432;&#x43E;&#x434;&#x441;&#x442;&#x432;&#x43E;
&#x43F;&#x43E;
&#x443;&#x441;&#x442;&#x430;&#x43D;&#x43E;&#x432;&#x43A;&#x435; Debian
GNU/Linux <title>

instead of expected

<title>ÐÑÐÐÐÐÐÑÑÐÐ ÐÐ ÑÑÑÐÐÐÐÐÐ Debian GNU/Linux </title>

2. Good news: after playing a bit with jade etc. I have got a complete
russian doc with right characters, BUT: with all formatting, margins and
newlines removed, an A4 page full of equally big text. So we can have
cyrillic and so on going this way, but we'll have to play with it a little
more. 

3. Neither good nor bad: generated LaTeX looks more like Postscript, but
seems to be functional (at least in JadeTeX)
