Then add that to the fact that 80% of office (Writer |Word) users
only ever use 20% of the functionality,

The provision of a server based office tool that users can't mess with

That way even if it is WYSIWYG, the organisation can enforce styles

generating regular, usable XML from styled content is easy, never mind
viable.
