Got an example of the formatting you like?  The custom scripts don't
sound hard.

IIRC, OO.o doesn't import DocBook XML, although I seem to remember a
3rd party add-on on sf.net somewhere.

In general, we should be able to use the FDP infrastructure for this
but I'm reserving judgement until I can see some examples of the
desired results.
