Then the most productive method (IMNSHO) would be to check out the samba-docs repository, and open an emacs window in side-by-side mode, Then just move down the page, replacing text in one window and reading the context in the other. That is, it really should be easy not to modify the surrounding tags at all, therefore ensuring that referencing (particularly chapter numbering etc) remain perfectly intact. There will probably be small formatting changes but these can probably be left to the editors.
