Further to Bob's reply, the plan is to support all DocBook elements (though not necessarily all *combinations* of elements) for the entire round-tripping process. At this stage I'm ramping up the effort I'm putting into the project, and would welcome feedback on the priorities people would place on the elements to be supported.

There is a set of XSL stylesheets that Steve Ball wrote to convert DocBook
to WordML and back in the DocBook's SourceForge project CVS tree (under
xsl/wordml). It handles a useful subset of DocBook tags, and might make a
good start for your project if you want to pursue the XSLT route.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Docbook XML to Word(ML)?
Hello,
what would be the best (most complete, most reliable, most
configurable...) way to convert Docbook XML documents to Word files
given that the final Word files must be compliant to a .dot template
supplied by a customer?
I thought about using an XSL stylesheet to convert the Docbook XML
file to a WordML file using 4suite, load the WordML file into Word
and, if required, do further manipulations not (easily) possible
through XSL via the COM interface of Word using Python.
I know of the XSL files at the docbook sourceforge site. How complete
are these concerning support of Docbook elements and Word features?
If someone knows about an FAQ or other on- and offline information
about this topic, thanks for a corresponding reference. I searched the
list on gmane.org, but couldn't find any corresponding messages in the
past...
TIA,
Sincerely,
Wolfgang Keller
