Yes.

You could validate your theme against the XSD/DTD and see where
validation fails.

Ah, that will be a help thanks.

I seem to remember for one of the previous upgrades, someone had made a
shell script to do some of the "search and replace" changes. I guess no one
has done that yet ?

That was only for one specific change which changed the way
buttonlists are built. I would not expect any such script to be
written to migrate a .23 theme to .24.

You can also check the wiki history since last release until this
release to see how the docs/individual -ui.xml pages changed.

I see at least one change I'll probably write such a script for: Changing
<font name=...> to <fontdef name=...>

A little state machine and it should change the corresponding closing /font
to /fontdef too

Could all be accomplished with a single sed line, don't need anything
as fancy as a script.
