Then the most productive method (IMNSHO) would be to check out the
samba-docs repository, and open an emacs window in side-by-side mode,
Then just move down the page, replacing text in one window and reading
the context in the other.  

That is, it really should be easy not to modify the surrounding tags at
all, therefore ensuring that referencing (particularly chapter numbering
etc) remain perfectly intact.  There will probably be small formatting
changes but these can probably be left to the editors.
