  Well I didn't really follow this thread. My understanding is that
SGML document can be exported to XML and in the case of DocBook DTD
the way around is probably true. 
  As long as it's tag based with well formedness constraints I will
be able to parse it (with a bit of glue if needed).
  Now I far more concerned by attempts to use unstructured formats
but hopefully Gnome developpers have a lot of common sense and they
seems to do the Right Thing (TM) usually,

  Yes, I'm optimistic :-)
