Sounds like your trying to do what I'm trying to do :) But I will have to do all the things you were suggesting that I strip out since this content will be accessed by various WebDAV clients including Mac OS X, and MS Web Folders and Office. It's for an HR firm that want to take resumes in Word form over the web. Then they need to process them internally. I'd like to keep it simple for the web user so that they can just deal with a form and not have to introduce new UI issues. I'd be interested in knowing how you make out and likewise, I'll let you know how I fare.
