Does anyone have an inkling of a plan to do this?  I just ran into a bit
of this bad character encoding nonsense updating d.g.o.  What of
documents that are generated from old docbook?

I use tidy (tidy.sf.net) because it can correct a lot of problems in the
markup, and as a bonus, it can alter the encoding.  I ran tidy of the
d.g.o tree to get a report on the state markup problems.  A consequence
of my fixes is that many documents were converted to UTF-8.

xmllint can change the output, but I believe that the input file must
correctly declare its character encoding.

I the past I have used native2ascii to change file encodings.   It's
fine for just changing the character encoding, but is unable to correct
any character set declaration in the document.
