Not necessarily, this can be done gradually. E.g. you can add -D DOCTYPE=xhtml -W2,--expansion=0 to a .wmlrc file into any directory, and all files under this directory will be built with XHTML doctype. The problem is that compilation will fail for most files, because tags have to be properly closed. So the first step is to fix english/template/debian/*.wml files, then test XHTML output on a small directory. But again, XHTML generation will fail if tags are not properly nested, so this is a very invasive change and I am not sure that it is worth.
