I've committed this, along with a fix to remove the bug you
mentioned. The problem was I had been closing the comments with --!>, as
opposed to the correct -->. Gotta hate that asymettry. Also gotta hate
checking in code you wrote ten months ago without checking it
sufficently. But it works now.

And just for the record, I have a hat here, along with some ketchup, in
case any one finds any other word processors that round trip in DocBook
format.
