IIRC, Peter said basically that it was more work than he cared to tackle,
which I guess means that there was significant manual effort involved.
The most practical answer might be to wait a few years till all the live
branches use XML, and then we can do the renaming in all branches
trivially. Perhaps finishing the XML conversion in v10 would be cheap
enough that it'd be worth doing that to shave one year off the wait.
