Les,
Microsoft Research and arXiv.org have been working closely on the adoption/utilization of the SWORD protocol and arXiv.org already has a preliminary service up and running. I would encourage you to follow-up directly with Simeon and Paul for additional detail, but I think the bulk of the work is largely done.

In an important related point, I would like to add that we (Microsoft Research) is actively working on the ability to push from Word 2007 directly to repositories that can consume the SWORD protocol.
