This - as usual - "Depends".

Influencing factors include:

a) How much of DocBook will you export to?
b) Will you be using stylesheets?
c) Dependent on a) and b), how will you
   implement frames? Will you implement frames at
   all?

And so on.

Still, shouldn't be *too* difficult to grab the
semantic markup. Formatting'll be a bugger but
semantics not so much. Strikes me as an excellent
job for Perl and the various Perl *ML parsers.

Certainly if you're successful, there may be a
case to adopt DocBook as a target for later
development (version 2.x or so).

be well;
