Source material: 9f05ab1e has remaining xml files. Some files, mostly those that have the SiteBuilder `<metadata>` block left in them, are duplicates with either other xml files, or files already converted to Markdown.

Text formatting convention used: [semantic linefeeds](http://rhodesmill.org/brandon/2012/one-sentence-per-line/), as summarized in this self-documenting example:

```
  By starting a new line at the end of each sentence,
  and splitting sentences themselves
  at natural breaks between clauses,
  a text file becomes far easier to edit and version control.
```

Also, aspirationally: 80 char lines at most, but for tables and the like, visual end results is what matters.

Conversion method: convert all tags to their markdown equivalents

  * `<list>`+`<item>` => numbered, bullet or definition lists
  * `<comment>` => nuke
  * `<interactive>` => put in triple-backtick escape + prefix `<in>` bits with a `> ` prompt + strip `<out>` tags
  * `<h1>` => `## header`

In the original xml markup, there was a hidden comment:

```xml
<comment>Wrong!</comment>
```

right here. If anyone has constructive input on what that is about and if we should change something here, speak up. :-)
