That certainly works but why not request feature to the maintainer (me!)
with proper info. At least, using debiandoc2docbook will auto create
missing closing tags for XML.
I thought I closed most of the requests. Well.... I read remaining
bugs... I may found the thing you are bothered.
I now think big deficit is missing comments:
http://bugs.debian.org/430603 For this, tags-query-replace wins! This
is fundamental since these comments are dropped before parser sees them.
converting them before to some special tag may be a solution. If this
is the problem and you think still worth fixing in squeeeze. Bug me.
For now, I suggest to use global string change trick before and after
debiandoc2docbook conversion with "perl -i -p -e". Something along...
"<!-- " -> "@@@start-comment-start@@@"
" -->" -> "@@@end-comment-end@@@"
If you have some fancy tag withing comment, it fails but
Other problem are practicallt the same as you do with tags-query-replace.

This is one you need tags-query-replace type action.
