Cool - this would really make my life easier.

I assume Docbook elements become styles in the Word document? And if 
users format things manually, their formatting is lost when you convert 
back to XML? (Which is fine with me - losing unintended formatting is a 
feature,  not a bug ....)

Is there a good way to model Word deletions and additions in Docbook?
