Even better would be to have an XSL stylesheet that produces WordML
from the DocBook source.
This is what I and another engineer in my company have done for one of
our clients.
In fact, we're (almost) doing the round-tripping thing - the original
authoring is done in Word 2003 [*],
that gets saved as XML (WordML), converted to a more suitable XML
format (DocBook-like) and
then converted back into WordML for later editing purposes (as well as
HTML, PDF, etc).
Cheers,
Steve Ball
[*] They're actually using Word XP and DocSoft at the moment until such
time as they upgrade to
Office 2003.
