That's what I did, because I wasn't satisfied with the (two?)
debiandoc2docbook tools we have in Debian. I used
tags-query-replace in Emacs to do the change over all files in
one directory at once.

Important: XML is less lenient than SGML is some respects:

 * Make sure to close all tags, such as <xref>
 * Test your document/translation with
   make validate LINGUA=vi (or "es" or whatever)
 * Make sure to correctly use <literal>, <quote>, <filename> etc.

Thanks!
