Ok, so the proper mechanism when the text content is variable,
is to have other script generate a Latex document, right?

Thanks for the comment. While I am not sure I agree about it is
being "high" - obviously for word processor (formated document
editor) this is a normal requirement - but basically you said
the the requirement that it should go to various format put the
solution in somewhat narrow choices.

My thought as well. Of course with ODF we can have much easier
tools such as UNO interface of OpenOffice.org, so I don't even
have to know the internal structure of ODF XML.
