Tangent: Note that if you have data in tabular form, Oxygen can open Excel files (XLS, not XLSX) and will convert them in pretty literal fashion to XML (a root element containing one element per row, each of which in turn contains the contents of a single cell; values in the first row can be used as element names). Then you can write an XSL transform to get from that to an EpiDoc template ... this is exactly the process we're using to jump-start the EFEO Jakarta Center's project on the ancient Campa inscriptions from Vietnam since they already had information extracted from old inventory lists in Excel. And yes, by all means, do please join the markup list!
