[xsl] Generating real end notes that can be read by MS Word, including utf-8. Is RTF the way?

[David Riggs <dariggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The editor has to have my article in MS Word, and the end notes have to 
be MS Word real notes.

I have been using xslt to make nice html formatted notes (thanks to 
xsl-list help), which is more or less readable by MS Word, even though 
the notes are not true notes, just formatted to look that way. But now I 
need to make those live MS Word notes.

Is RTF the best way? If so, is there a good guide or tutorial on the 
web? I have very simple formatting, and would really like to not get too 
involved with RTF, and everything seems a little too complicated.

Also, I think that the way to go from my diacritic rich xml to RTF is to 
ask for ascii output in <xsl:output ..> and then convert (with perl or 
so) the entities that result to the RTF escaped unicode. Is that correct?

Thank you,
