I can spend a happy afternoon taking unstructured content out of an .odt or a .docx file, applying DITA rules for structure and converting the results to a tightly structured output file I can give back to the original writer for discussion. But – while layout and formatting are applied consistently, it all seems to be done on the basis of Normal plus local overrides. It would be easier to explain structure to the original writer (and, of course, easier to update the formatting in line with corporate habits) if conversion generated/applied styles with names reflecting the elements.
What do you think? I'll understand if you say this approach would take a lot more effort than it's worth.
