    Thank you. That does help with this particular problem but introduces
a new one: <varlistentry> elements containing e.g.
    <term><parameter>x</parameter></term>
in the DB4 source are converted to
    <term>x</term>

    The changes between the revs 7660 and 9783 of db4-upgrade.xsl were
large and it's not easy to figure out why this behavior change
occurred, given my limited understanding of XSL. I suspect I'll be
better off accepting the issues from one or the other version and
fixing them up after the translation.
