 Is it possible (in theory) to transofrm a WordML DTD XML document
onto another DocBook DTD XML document ? (DTD genetic Transformation ;)

 It seems it should be possible using a) MS Word Document template
logically close to the DocBook semantic (<section><para><list>e.t.c.) 
b) a "clever" XSLT script to transform one DTD tags into the another DTD
tags
(may be not 1:1)
