As a matter of fact, there is: HTML.

You can create HTML that uses CSS to force Word to apply it's internal 
styles to HTML code tagged with class attributes.  I've even figured 
out how to modify the DocBook stylesheets to produce code that Word 
will read as footnotes.  This is a far better solution IMHO than RTF.

If anyone is interested in this, perhaps we can package this up into 
something more than the hack it currently is?
