What I have done so far is:

Conversion of sgml files to valid xml syntax with a perl skript. I failed to use 'osx' or 'spam'.

Conversion of these xml files to Docbook5.x format using xsltproc and Docbooks xslt-migration skripts.

Creation of html files using xsltproc and Docbooks xslt skripts.

Creation of fo files using xsltproc and Docbooks xslt skripts.

Creation of pdf files using fop.

The conversions needs less than 10 minutes on a Intel i5 processor.

So you believe you have/can convert between the two formats accurately, so we can change things in a single commit?

What verification is offered? Possible?

And that is ready to go now? Will you post your perl script, or the patch? Other projects use the same file formats, e.g. Slony, XL etc

If an automatic migration is possible do we need to change at all?
