I will not be able to do anything to help with any of this today, but I
can try and take a look tomorrow.

Certainly an automated translation will not do all the complicated
bits, that will need manual intervention. I may well be able to assist
on this. I think the transform from DocBook/XML is worth a bit of up

concerned in the future. Obviously I do not have data relating to this
project, just experience and anecdotal evidence from others.
