I found an lb2db.sh script that converts linuxdoc to docbook.sgml.
According to some GNOME documentation, you need to replace the docbook
sgml DTD with the docbook xml dtd:

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
        <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN"
            "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd">

I have tried with the input-mouse sgml readme file and it worked with
some minor corrections in closing tags.
