Indeed there are a number of different such initiatives some of them including XSLT and so on topic. :-) (In fact didn't Eliot recently mention his thing for a Word -> DITA pathway?) Whether using XSLT (and on topic) or not -- converting from Word (what I like to call a 'paintbrush' application) into strong markup is going to be a hard problem, largely because its boundaries are not in an obvious place, plus they move. It will always be contested what is in scope vs what is not, and there will be a tradeoff between generic and specialized capabilities. Hard doesn't mean impossible, however, and what would be nice would be a toolkit that could be adapted for local use....
