Hello Martin,
i'm currently working on this problem too. But i think POI is currently
not ready for our wishes :(
I've found 2 other solutions for the doc2xml-problem:
1. a python-skript called doc2xml
* http://pair.mbl.ca/doc2xml/
* GPL
* this skript can read word 97, word 2000 and word 2002
* the xml-output contain all stylsheets!
2. the libwv
* http://wvware.sourceforge.net/
* GPL
* currently i'm writing a java-wrapper (jni) for this library
* libwv is used in kword and abiword
