I hope you are aware that if you whip up a proper DTD, you can
use a proper sgml parser (sgmls(1)) whose output is much easier
to parse than raw sgml.  It deals with all sorts of tag omissions
and other difficlut to deal with sgml syntax, giving you a neat
normalized version.  If your conversions are simple enough, you
pipe the output into sgmlsasp(1) with an appropriate tag mapping
spec.  Both are standard in FreeBSD.

Oh, what the heck, save the file below and give it to sgmls to
see what I mean.
