These two sentences are revealing of some of the advantages of the
standards-based, XML-based, single-source-docs approach. Even valid,
well-formed DocBook XML isn't going to provide "turnkey" migration, but at
least with XML the documentation isn't locked into HTML/PDF formats (or as
Robin noted tangentially, wiki formats).
