Further to this, all you really need is the DTD for the original SGML (which
may include an SGML declaration file and entity files, or not).  You can
quickly generate an EDD from the DTD in Frame.  The imported SGML won't look
pretty, but it will parse correctly.  From that point you can refine the EDD
and develop a structured application to convert various elements into Frame
objects like markers, graphics, and tables.
