No, but unless I'm mistaken the DOAJ format covers just metadata, and 
isn't terribly complex, so this doesn't look like a very hard 
transform to write.

I think the challenges here are more in controlling the input side 
(i.e., in the particular ways you are using the NLM metadata 
structures, which are fairly permissive in certain important 
respects). But I bet you have that licked.

You may already know of the mailing lists run by NCBI, where there 
will be a higher concentration of NLM users. You could try 
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mailman/listinfo/publishing-dtd (linked 
from the page at http://dtd.nlm.nih.gov/publishing.)

Cheers,
Wendell
