XSLT stylesheets for conversion of OpenOffice XML to DocBook XML are available at http://www.chez.com/ebellot/ooo2sdbk/ The manual is in French, comments in the XSLT files in English. Work on these stylesheets just began (current release is 0.3), but they are already very useful. As far as I understood the dev@xml.openoffic.org mailinglist of the Open Office XML project, these stylesheets are supposed to be integrated in the OpenOffice filter engine (http://xml.openoffice.org/filter/). This means that saving DocBook with OpenOffice will be supported one day :) Nevertheless, the mentioned stylesheets by Eric Bellot can already be used with the Saxon XSLT processor for basic transformation.
