(Sorry, I'm really not an expert here, I just wanted to share the idea.)

Gary, my point was not to *use* DocBook but to take ODT and provide 
export filters to generate HTML *like* DocBook does.

But - at least from a non-expert view like mine - DocBook seems to be 
XML with chapters, paragraphs and so on, and ODT is XML with chapters, 
paragraphs and so on. So at least in theory they should be mutually 
convertable, shouldn't they? 

So hypothetically, the DocBook-to-HTML converter should be easliy 
tweakable to take ODT as input. Ok, by an advanced developer ;-)
