Not being very familiar with Expat, this may overlook an obvious solution -
if so, apologies in advance.

Since you're using it for the first stage anyway, I would write another
OmniMark script to get the XML into the structure you desire. For the
record, Rick Geimer wrote rtf2xml, not OmniMark, and although you could use
any number of tools to carry out the next conversion stage, I'd bet money on
what I think Rick uses. :-)
