I have no problem in doing all this work in XML. Right now I am
editing the files in my web-editor, changing nothing of the meta-infos
that are in. The files on the project page are converted to plain
html right now, but we could also use OpenOffice, as suggested, to
work in another format.

I agree with you that it makes no sense to alter formats without good
reasons.
