But if you don't want to exchange the elements ("emphasis" ->
"guimenuitem") you can add attributes (<emphasis
role=guimenuitem>...</>) to support the converter tools.  Of course,
this has to be done manually ;)

Using Architectural Forms processing is not that difficult to do this
flipping back and forth.  Nothing more than `nsgmls' is needed to it --
and some DTDs and Meta-DTDs to drive `nsgmls'.

There's no Java involved :)
