After studying two years at a Department of Mathematical Sciences and helping a lot of the staff with LaTeX-related stuff while there, I can certainly second that. Due to the myriad of packages people use, I think it'll be a never-ending job to create good tools to convert between LaTeX/TeX and e.g. XML. In my experience, people care _a lot_ about typography and will not settle with a mediocre conversion result. Martin
