    "Typing tabular data into an XML editor like Emacs + nxml is pretty
    cumbersome as there is a bad signal-to-noise ratio in terms of markup
    vs. data. In contrast, typing the same data into a spreadsheet like
    OpenOffice Calc is painless. Also, I'm used to keep my data in
    spreadsheets anyway, so I had to find a way to import these into
    DocBook files. Apparently there is no such tool on the market, so I
    dusted off my Perl skills and wrote a little script for this purpose."
