You should take a look at the Jade documentation for the non-standard SGML flow
object classes. James provides an example script that performs an identity
SGML->SGML transformation. All you need to do is modify that example along the
lines of:

...
(default
    (let* ((old-gi (gi (current-node)))
            (new-gi
              (case old-gi
                (("ELEMENT1") "NEWELEMENT1")
                (("ELEMENT2") "NEWELEMENT2")
                ...
                (else old-gi))))
    (make element
      gi: new-gi
      attributes: (copy-attributes))))
