What happens when you use Dreamweaver MX to convert the output to XHTML?

I put a challenge before another list some time ago where I promised to donate to the charity of choice of the person who managed to get valid HTML out of Word. Nobody claimed the bet (although the most recent Mac version of Word came pretty close) but some were able to get very good results by putting their output through HTMLTidy <http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/>. If the original Word doc is pretty simple then there should be little or no accessibility problems remaining to deal with by hand.
