Sorry, now I am confused!
How can you convert a valid SGML into a valid (not just well-formed) XML
document without validating it against an XML DTD? And how do you get this
XML DTD? if as you say...

The points made by Ted are slightly orthogonal what I was saying, but
further illustrate that this whole process should not be taken lightly.
Users should take several deep breaths before embarking on this on any large
scale....
