Thanks for this hard, but certainly right summary. I would be alright with 
not being able to convert to docx, but I would really like to can create a 
"standard" PDF (typically with latex). And I would be ready and glad to 
contribute, but although I have a bit more skills than the "average" (10 
years on ubuntu and now debian helps :)), I have no programming skills (and 
no idea where to start...). I also wonder if it wouldn't be more judicious 
(easy) to configure my editor to do this, albeit I have the impression the 
cross references and, especially, the conversion would then be problematic. 
I also prefer "universal" solutions, but I guess each editor community 
could develop similar functionalities. So if anyone interested in my issues 
with some skills or advices, I'm here =)
