Not necesssarily,
Even if a bulk of the translation is moving from a "flat" system to a
hierarchical one, you still need to match nested start/end pairs, which
you can't do with regexp alone, although you could of course use perl's
XML parsing modules these days. Also often you want to do other more
XSLT-friendly things at the same time, and it makes sense to do it all
at once.
