its infancy but with contribution could be successful for Cooon serializers and generators to transform between the formats!

Cocoon would definately be a good choice technically. However what you'll have to fight is the mindset of people desiring to use MS Word as their authoring tool. You could try to use a tool such as DocSoft's (http://www.docsoft.com) Word-to-XML converter. However it creates generic "presentation" XML and therefore you'll lose the control over the look and feel of the site.
I'm in the same battle now of trying to integrate an XML editor for people to author with into our business process. People are comfortable with Word and resist change.

Hello! I am wondering whether Cocoon is the solution to my problem:I am working for a university who wants me to redesign their homepage. It has to be accessible to everyone (i.e. needs to conform to the Web Accessibility Guidelines) and be dead easy in maintanance. The problems I have encountered so far are: There will be many different people who will edit, update, maintain or expand the pages. These people in most cases have never seen an html code. In fact what they love to do is saving a word doc into html and loading it onto the server. But all pages are supposed to be in valid XHTML, controled by CSS. Is this a case for Cocoon? Could secretaries load up their word docs (and whatever else they get into their hands) and the rest Cocoon does for them? I.e. generate XML from Word and tranform it into valid, accessible XHTML code? I would be grateful for your opinions! Do you know of any university who is using Cocoon?
