What is the point of Lamport writing a set of macros to implement
structured  writing on top of TeX, and then you asking for someone to
do it again?

thats how LaTeX does it. its the only way in TeX, so far as I can see;
it MUST involve two passes, in anybody's game, and its not
unreasonable to dump pass 1 onto disk, then read it in pass 2
