Book export

Hi,
I've just installed a 4.7.2 version of drupal to test the book import/export features to see if upgrading my 4.6 site is worth its cost.
For the moment I've installed export_dxml, export_ogml, and bookimport modules (export_docbook requires PHP5 :-( ). OGML doesn't match my need (only outline). DXML seems ok (even if import doesn't work for me, but the bug is already reported), but I was wondering if there is any XSLT stylesheet to process the DXML and generate, for instance, an html version browsable offline? I may be able to write one on my own, but if someone already has (even a good skeleton), it could shorten my work.
Thanks in advance, and many thanks to drupal folks for their incredible work!

No answer since my first
No answer since my first post two months ago, it seems that my problem is not very common... Anyway, I've upgraded our website to drupal 4.7.2 this week-end, and managed to get an offline documentation for our main tool with the drupal export dxml feature. I had to slightly hack it to adapt it to our need (add the path in exported nodeinfo), so that I can convert hyperlinks between book pages in offline hyperlinks. The dxml to html stuff itself is a ruby script, rather slow right now but I'm not a ruby expert. If some of you are interested (it's quite specific to our needs right now but it should be quite easy to adapt it), you can find it here:
http://svn.jayasoft.org/projects/tools/ivy/src/doc/dxml_to_html.rb
Feel free to copy / modify it, I haven't even put a license on it, so consider it's like Ivy: BSD.
BTW, I'm only using the 4.7 version for a few hours, and I already appreciate it. And the migration was really easy (except some troubles with relative urls, but I wrote a quick filter and it was fixed). Many thanks to the drupal folks for their awesome job!
