I think you would have to say that if you can't use appropriate tools to
produce XML documents then the answer to "could you produce XML documents"
is a, not negotiable, no.
There is a whole lot of hype about Word being "XML" in the next version but
XML is different things to different people.
What exactly do QSR hope to gain from moving to XML? Only when you know the
answer to that can you begin to investigate the tools you will need to
achieve those goals. From what I've read of Word's XML capabilities your
goals would have to be pretty minimal (eg if your goal is to get away from
proprietary formats it looks like Microsoft are up to their normal tricks).
