There's a lot of potential for duplication/collaboration of effort here.
@Oxford, we have:

  - a collaboration with ISO on Word <--> XML
  - a component within ENRICH of Word <--> XML
  - two grant proposals being readied which _also_ include this work
  - the Vesta framework

I am not entirely sanguine about our chances of getting these,
but if we do, the funding comes on the timescale of this autumn.

Obviously we also do a small amount of typesetting from TEI XML
(tho not journals).

I have done a book and a conference proceedings,
apart from the Guidelines
