Steve,

Did you look at the Hermione FAQ that I translated from Penny's Word 
document?  (It sounds like you might have.)  When I thought I would be 
doing the translation I ran through some test cases and decided that 
although they wouldn't be consistent, the initial job would be done.  Then 
once the first version of the FAQ was complete, we could go back and 
generate a more consistent look--ideally from a common set of "source" files.

Could you elaborate on how Penny's Word document failed to translate.  Too 
see how I generated the documents with footnotes, see some of my earlier 
posts.  The files and link to the translator tool are in these posts.
