It might be worth moving everything into FM and the same book if you 
have or can quickly make the right DTD, EDD and read/write rules. I have 
a pile of FM books created for this purpose only: sometimes the quickest 
way to make sure everything ties up neatly.

The alternative is either lots of manual work and/or possibly-complex XSLT.
