Fred,

Have you considered cross-translating to Docbook to achive
the publishing of the SGML? There are very good Docbook DSSSL
stylesheets for both print and on-line by Norman Walsh
that could then be "piggy-backed" on. See 
www.nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl/index.html

aside: see also http://www.nwalsh.com/bookmarks/index.html
Normal has a DSSSL stylesheet for converting XBEL
bookmarks into HTML...
