I've always used pdfxmltex+passivetex. This is what's missing on most
debian based systems.

As Michael suggested, it's worth trying with fop instead. When I did
the original conversion it wasn't capable enough, but it's quite a few
years older now.

Well, currently vorbis/doc/xml/ has a each chapter as a separate
docbook xml file, and then there's a Vorbis_I_spec.xml that imports
them all to create the final document. You should cat all the xml
files together into a Vorbis_I.html and then change all the tags from
docbook to html markup. You can use the original html version as a
guide, but the goal should be to have it look nice with the new
website css files.

Then print out both and do a side-by-side proof.

It's not especially difficult, but it would take me about two weeks.
