  Sure you can use the existing tools to convert your content to XML.
But all our docs uses external parsed entities. Your scheme won't deal
with this cleanly (basically you will get everything substitued in a single
flat file as the output, I doubt anybody who wrote docs for Gnome will
like this).

  Now if you feel compelled for providing a better solution I would
be *extremely* pleased if you could volunteer to do this conversion for
the GNOME project in general, thanks you in advance !
