DocBook Conversion of NDR

[harvey <harvey@eccnet.com>]

As promised, attached is the first version of the NDR 2.0 converted to
Docbook.  The NDR authors were amazing in adhereing to the Word styles
which made this conversion work well.  This version will need some
cleanup but I thought I would pass it along to begin a dialog about
how information in the NDR should ultimately be tagged.

All paragraphs have a role attribute on the <para> element when I couldn't
find a content tag for the specific style.  The rules are tagged using
<blockquote> element.

<blockquote role="Rule" id="rule-GNR1">
     <para>[<emphasis role="rule-prefix">GNR1</emphasis>]
          UBL XML element and type names MUST be in the English
          language, using the primary English spellings provided
          in the Oxford English Dictionary.
     </para>
</blockquote>

What I see that needs to be done:

1.  Decide on tagging for various paragraph constructs - should they
    remain as <para> with 'role' attributes or is another appropriate
    Docbook element.
2.  Add unique ID's at all the component levels (this process will
    be automated).
3.  Decide a standard UBL id construct.
4.  Decide how to ultimately tag the data in the front.xml file.  This
    is currently tagged as <chapter> because I couldn't find anything
    in the <bookinfo> element that supported the data.
