This is a good idea.  However, awhile back Bob posted some information 
and examples I'd come up with that use the default HTML stylesheets 
(with minor modifications) and CSS to create documents that Word 
interprets as if it were a native doc files, complete with styles and 
footnotes.  I still would love to see that included as a parameter 
option in the default stylesheets.
