tell me about it we have to absorb "Word-ML" from old Word docs
(i.e. save the file as HTML & then post to an auto-munging servlet wot
turns it into proper XHTML so we can incorporate it into XML model files...


& it was painful beyond belief......including such lovely bit as :

// set all class atts with MsoNormal to empty string
                // //.[{at}class='MsoNormal']/{at}class

                String xpathQ = "//.[{at}class='MsoNormal']/{at}class";
                List attribs = XMLUtil.getNodesListXpathDoc(xpathQ, xmlSource);
                for (Iterator it = attribs.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
                        Node node = (Node) it.next();
                        node.setNodeValue("");
                }
