That was excellent: thanks!  Now I've got started I've got a quick
question.  It doesn't matter in terms of the validity of the SGML, but
in the output tags are broken over lines as follows:

[...]
></ARTINFO
><TIG
><ATL
>Voting in the UK: Is Mandatory Voting the Answer?</ATL
></TIG
[...]

This is actually quite useful while I'm working on writing the
transform, as it makes the tags stand out more, but as an end result
it's not cosmetically pleasing (ie the Pointy-Haired Ones won't like
it).  Can I achieve a more `traditional' format, with the angle
brackets touching what they contain?  I'd be able to live with this:

[...]>
</ARTINFO>
<TIG>
<ATL>
Voting in the UK: Is Mandatory Voting the Answer?</ATL>
</TIG
[...]

Indentation would be even nicer:

[...]>
  </ARTINFO>
  <TIG>
    <ATL>
    Voting in the UK: Is Mandatory Voting the Answer?
    </ATL>
  </TIG
[...]

PS Mandatory voting?  I think even Jack Straw might balk at criminalising
   40% of the population at the next election....
