XHTML (and HTML) are both next to impossible to turn into paginated media as
people use word processors for.  Just think TOCs, indexes, headers/footers,
and citations - all of which can not possibly be done in X?HTML.

True...

Docbook and/or FOP + SVG on the other hand, rock.

Go LaTeX!

\tableofcontents
\pagestyle{headers}

.. does more in LaTeX than five minutes of fiddling in OOo. And you don't need to manually update the ToC either.
