OK.
the first thing to do, is to install an xslt processor (such as saxon,
which also needs java to run)
See
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/README?view=markup&rev=11632


or xsltproc (available on most linux distributions
Then run the xslt processor on the docbook document and the xslt
descriptor on order to generate an html or svg document (such as :
xsltproc tutorial-svg.xsl tutorial.xml > tutorial.svg )



A potential solution, in your case, is to copy-paste strings from the
svg files you've generated to some docbook new files (see them in the
svn tree), then run the xslt processor on them. I can help you if you
need. (Bulia may be able to provide some clues too)

The docbook format is interesting because with the appropriate xslt
files, you can convert the docbook files to any other readable format.

Ah, yes, you're absolutely right !

That's what i'm currently trying to do.
More news within one ore two weeks I think.
