OOXML/docx XML tools?

I've just converted my first Word document to Epub/Kindle. I ended up transforming the xml code in the docx files to xhtml, which was a less painful experience than working with the HTML output from LibreOffice, which was the alternative. It wasn't too cumbersome, the source document was fairly simple. A lot of cruft to be discarded, and the footnotes needed some handling, but otherwise it was fairly straightforward.
However, I expect things can be quite a bit messier. Does anybody know of XML tools that do a good job of handling OOXML, and ideally transforming it into XHTML?
(Yes, I know Toxaris has done excellent work on his plugin. But 1) I don't have Word, and 2) I really would like to handle OOXML within a XML/Xpath framework.)

Maybe take a look at the DOCX Input/Output plugins in calibre?

But... but Calibre has a GUI! Even if I don't use it, I'll always know it's there

On a slightly more serious note: Yeah, should have thought of that myself – thanks for the tip. The relevant code seems readable – unlike OOXML itself...
