I can see only one problem with this...

How do people using only Netscape/Mozilla Composer to produce their 
pages, and get these saved html pages into DocBook format without 
needing any further tools or knowledge or in fact effort?

If anyone knows how to do an HTML file upload, then conversion to 
DocBook on the server, then speak up.

Of course, once you've implemented that, then do the cron job to convert 
them all back to html/whatever you will begin to wonder if it was worth 
it in the first place.

Sigh. Why isn't this proving to be a simpler problem to understand and 
solve? DocBook sounds great as a storage medium, but how the heck do you 
get into DocBook in the first place...
