There are actually 2 tools available to do this:

Konrad Hinsen has written a script to do dome docbook conversions, and SGMLS.pm
from David Megginson also has similar functionality. Both tools dont
do many tags, but are very easily extensable, being written in sane
scripting languages ..:-)
Dunno where to find them, but a search will bring up something...
