Step 1. Find <ulink url="mailto:...">...</ulink>  and change the <ulink>
        to <email>.

        Can't do this globally. Some of the links are odd (i.e,. the link
        is not their e-mail address but is their name, eg

          <ulink url="mailto:nik@freebsd.org">Nik Clayton</ulink>

        which would turn to

          <email>Nik Clayton</email>

        which isn't very useful. Ignore these ones, and do the others.
        (i.e., the ones that look like

           <ulink url="mailto:nik@freebsd.org">nik@freebsd.org</ulink>

        )

        This Emacs regexp does the job.

            Search for: <ulink\s-+url="mailto[^>]+>\([^<]+\)</ulink>
          Replace with: <email>\1</email>

Step 2. A lot of the <email>...</email> sets will have '<' and '>' embedded
        in them (as entities). These can be removed, since the stylesheet
        will add them;

            Search for: <email>&lt;\([^&]+\)&gt;</email>
          Replace with: <email>\1</email>

Step 3. The trick now is to turn

            <ulink url="mailto:nik@freebsd.org">Nik Clayton</ulink>

        into

            Nik Clayton <email>nik@freebsd.org</email>

        This step could (possibly) have been done first, and then steps
        1 and 2 could be done globally. I haven't done this because of
        concerns about the ordering of names within languages. This
        transformation is fairly simple in English, I've no idea what
        it's like in Japanese.

            Search for: <ulink\s-+url="mailto:\([^"]+\)">\([^<]+\)</ulink>
          Replace with: \2 <email>\1</email>

Step 4. Remove leading and trailing spaces that may have slipped in

            Search for: <email>\s-+
          Replace with: <email>

            Search for: \s-+</email>
          Replace with: </email>
