No. The <pass> always succeeds in this case because there is no way to
know if a shell/bat command may be executed without actually executing it.
XXE has something which is closer to if/then/else than <pass>, it's a
<choice> of <sequence>s, each <sequence> starting with <test>. Example:
<command name="docb.joinOrDeleteChar">
<macro>
<choice>
<sequence>
<test
expression="($dot/ancestor::para or $dot/ancestor::simpara)
and not($selected) and not($mark)" />
<command name="deleteSelectionOrJoinOrDeleteChar"
parameter="%0" />
</sequence>
<command name="deleteSelectionOrDeleteChar" parameter="%0" />
</choice>
</macro>
</command>
The expression attribute of <test> must contain an XPath expression
returning a boolean.
You may probably (well, may be not with ancient XXE v2.11) check the
platform running XXE by using standard XSLT/XPath function
system-property().
