I'd say for stuff that is now broken (and I know there is a fair bit  
of it...) to just do a quick and dirty pass at changing the JPublish  
XML files into screen definitions (ie moving to set operations, etc)  
and then if they aren't working just don't worry about it. Hopefully  
at some point someone will actually need/want these and will go  
through that work. If that never does happen, chances are something  
else will be designed to replace them and we'll just toss them.

So yes, for now I'd say just do the minimum needed to get the  
JPublish stuff removed without losing too much of what is there.  
Heck, even putting the content of the JPublish pagedef XML file in a  
comment in the actions block of the new screen definitions would be  
okay by me...
