[xsl] Metadata Stamping

[Vasu Chakkera <vasucv@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear List..
This is a bit out of our context of XSLT. But I am hoping that there
will be people who are into publishing, who would have faced a similar
situation...
The following is my issue.

There are some documents that are Pre-XML stage and they are in
RTF/Word .. I have analysed and there is no way these can be changed
to XML and we have to live with it for the moment. It is a requirement
to somehow stamp in some metadata into the word documents, for example
stamp in a permanent Identifier for Sections within the Document.
THese Ids can be later used for cross referencing.. Is there anyone
who has come across a similar situation ? If yes, then how was it
solved?

Thanks in advance for any pointers you may give...
