tex4ht also has an odt (openoffice.org) export option.

The term XML is a bit hazy: xhtml is xml, openoffice is xml, ms
ooxml is xml, docbook is xml... But since you mention Word, the odt
export seems a better bet.

I played around with it some time ago. With some tweaking in the
latex code, I could get a decent OOo export. Unfortunately, the math
got seriously mangled going from OOo to Word although in general OOo
has a rather good Word export.
