I beat you to it - it looks extremely cool. After a bit
of tweaking I have r2net on Windows converting Word
docs with complicated equations to HTML in one fell
swoop. Putting Zope in front of it should not be
a big deal (as it offers a command line interface).

See
<http://www.bris.ac.uk/is/projects/cms/logictran/logictran.html>
and
<http://www.bris.ac.uk/is/projects/cms/logictran/logictran.doc>
for the original.

I found (about a year ago now) that wvWare-based products
couldn't handle graphics/equations very well but things
might have developed a bit. Certainly Open Office 1.0
was able to open the logictran.doc and _almost_ render
it correctly - so NuxDocument and the OO plug-in might
be able to compete with r2net with really horrid Word
files.
