I agree with David that straight LaTeX is going to cause growing pains.

OpenOffice will give you intermediate methods that you may find helpful,
like DocBook.  Similarly, something like FrameMaker is a proprietary
document creation tool that is commonly used in the industry.  While I
grant that the "problem" is that you need good, accurate, automatic
replication of your documents across several formats, the ultimate
success of the project will be determined by which tool people use up
front, and whether they feel like it does what they need.
