Hi Murray--

Hmmm.  Personally, it feels like a hack, but I share your concerns
(RELNOTESng suffers from this problem too, as you may know).  Unless
someone comes up with a better way of dealing with it soon, I'd say go
for it.  Besides, if you or someone else comes up with a more automatic
solution later, it's easy to take this one out.

Bruce.

PS.  Too bad we couldn't have used this approach for manpage entities as
well.  *Those* conversions will be harder to undo later.
