Actually, I think converting xml to vim help format will be much easier
than the other way around... because the syntax of xml is so rigid and
there are xml parsers available in python/perl etc.

I looked at the xml.dom.minidom module of python briefly and I beleive
that a converter shouldn't be too hard to do... But ofcourse, there
might be even easier methods...

Besides, xml is so much easier to write because it is freeform. I do not
have to bother with paragraph indentation etc...
