There is no frog maintainer, so I doubt they care... but I keep the SPLAT
one up-to-date. For both these applications the output HTML is
incorporated into the context sensitive help systems, so there's more work

I'm tempted to let you just do the transformations (probably much quicker)
and then see how things can be patched back. That OK with you?
