I think so.  Ali - do you forsee any problems here?  Judging by how
well Jonathan's gnome-db2html was working, I think this is quite
reasonable.  Hopefully we can move over to XML too.  Norman Walsh said
SGML is dead and XML is ready, so we probably will want to move over
before GNOME 1.4.  I haven't actually tested any of the tools, so we
should do this.  I think Jonathan put gnome-db2html together with XML,
more than SGML, in mind.
