Typical DocBook document uses 20-30 elements, you don't have to cover

But such transformation will require you to define formatting during
this transformation. Isn't there already conversion from FO into IDML?
This should be less effort. There are several tools for producing DOCX
and ODT from FO, but it would be nice to have ability to use InDesign as
FO engine.
