If you've found an appropriate tool meanwhile, please let me know :)

I assume that your static and dynamic parts of the document are
changing frequently?

1. No:
You could embed them (header, footer, etc..) once manually in your
xslt and get a clean, maintainable xslt. Your styles could be swapped
to a separated styles.xml Compare to the structure of a .docx file
(unzip it).

2. Yes:
Think about adding placeholders in your seed-document or manually add
them in the generated xslt of the inference tool.
Process your data in two steps.
a) source.xml  =(inference-tool.xsl)=> document.xml (static parts with
placeholders for dynamic parts)
b) document.doc =(business-logic-xsl)=> final.doc

Stefan
