hey Wendell

Many thanks for your reply.

We are working with docx files that need to be translated into HTML. The
docx files are chapters of scholarly content that constitute a book. We
need to translate the docx into a tidy HTML version with direct
translation of semantic elements but with the elimination of styles.

Later I would hope we could do a number of things:
1. use this baseline conversion stylesheet on scientific articles (this
includes addressing math, tables, and figures)
2. write a parser to evaluate a document and try and re-structure it
according to the *intended* semantics of the author (the best way to do
this tbd).

We will have a need for XML down the line (both docx->JATS and
htnml->JATS) but not right now...

Let me know if you can recommend anyone. We would like to get cracking
on it! ;) I'm happy to set up a call with you or whoever you know that
might be of interest..

Many thanks again for your reply. Much appreciated.
