(They also use HTML and PDF... and mobipocket and epub...)
I thought I saw two goals/targets mentioned - somewhat independent,
if not contradictory:
1. Exchange with other tools/apps like *Office: import/export (save as).
2. Emacs as a clean WYSIWYG editor.
I was speaking mainly to #2: schema-definable structure cohabiting
with WYSIWYG.
I don't see that #1 alone "is our target". Just one opinion.
I might even suggest not worrying about #1 on its own. Get #2 right
and import/export will follow, to a large degree. And to the degree
that *Office documents are incompatible with clean XML/XHTML/whatever,
just say no: don't worry much about it.
