Hrm, since converting from XML to plain text is easy, using XSL transformations(that is the power of XML after all), you could:
1) import into something like OpenOffice.org(native XML format)
2) write the XSLT transform you want (only you know what text styling you will want)
3) Apply the transform to all documents.
Or, since OpenOffice.org is open source, you can grab the file filter routines, then write directly to a text file from the imported data structure (a little harder, since you have to read through code).
Easiest thing is just writing the XSLT (ignoring things like hyperlink tags, image tags) Lists and tables would be quite simple.
