I convert/import a dozen DOCX's a day to EPUB, most come out squeaky clean. Any 'cruft' is invariably a direct result of what I did in Word. Either me being lazy and styling inline rather than using a Style, or marking a few words as being in another language.

You're thinking is stuck on Word 95, filtered HTML, and calibre 0.NN. Bit like saying The Internet is slow based one's usage of dial-up in the 80's

I've converted Word documents to epub that someone else has created or edited an epub that someone else has converted from Word documents. They are frequently pretty messy.
