What do you do about vaguely structured text which doesn't use named styles? There are so very many of them in Word... They do have a title, they do have headings, but they're deeply inconsistent. I know because I reformat them before I make any changes.
Yes, this is the heart of the problem.

I've been doing this for a long time now,
and every couple of years, along comes a
"completely new" product for converting Word
to XML.

Unfortunately, you just can't get structured
information out of unstructured sources, without
a lot of hassle and custom coding.
