OpenOffice.org has tools for writing to and reading from XSLTs, but I'm not familiar with how well they work or how well they might integrate with the Daisy XSLTs.
As I understand the situation, the ODT XSLTs are part of the Daisy Pipeline. <http://daisymfc.sourceforge.net/>.
I hope this helps.

Hello all,
does someone here can tell me if future versions of OpenOffice will ship
a similar facility to save an .odt file to DAISY.xml ?

BTW, is this M$ format really opensource/FREE/GPL or does it contains
limitation of use/edit ?

Microsoft is helping to launch new software that will make it much
easier to create documents accessible to blind and print-disabled
people.
The software allows any OpenXML file to be saved as DAISY XML, which
holds the internationally accepted standard for reading and publishing
accessible content.
The "Save as Daisy XML add-in" was created as an open source project
with Microsoft, Sonata Software, and the Digital Accessible
Information System (DAISY).
It is available on Microsoft Office Word 2007, Word 2003 and Word XP
for free at www.openxmlcommunity.org/daisy
The add-in converts text files into audio files and allows users to
easily navigate information through headings and pages numbers.
"It allows print disabled people to navigate the document the same way
a sighted person would navigate a document," said Microsoft director
of Corp Affairs and Citizenship, John Galligan.
"It`s a vocal version of that document as we would read it as a
sighted person."
Before DAISY XML, blind and print-disabled people had to rely on
outside agencies to convert documents into accessible formats, which
took time and tended to be expensive.
Now that a document has the ability to be converted into DAISY XML
from its very creation, the print-disabled have the ability to be more
autonomous in their own information gathering and can participate in
areas of life that once seemed off limits.
