Oh, hang on, I misunderstood. Brain not work good. You mean converting the actual upload, rather than the metadata to XML: Hmmm. This is, in theory, the best solution. But I don't know of an XML format with tools which will convert to and from it from Postscript, PDF, MS Word and HTML, without loss of information. The easiest solution is to convert everything to postscript as a base format, but that is still hard for MS Word (there are tools, but not free to my knowledge) Any advice and suggestions welcome.
