The psgml major mode for emacs works nicely, although it won't
give you a handy index of cross reference targets.  However, for
translation of an existing document, I don't see how that would
be a problem.  Either way, using nsgmls (or sgmls) and grep makes
quick work of generating a list of targets.

 $ nsgmls handbook.sgml | grep '^AID ' | sort | uniq | more
