Yes, one can do this, but note that it's not entirely a no-brainer. You need to: 1. clear all the check boxes and then recompute all checkbox counts in the region. [this isn't a simple tag replacement] 2. replace all non-TODO keywords with TODO. This is a replacement, but not a simple one to do with M-% 3. Wipe out all of the notes that were added with state changes. Again, this can be done with a replacement command, but it's not a trivial one. This is one of those cases where automating a task will not pay back the investment (at least not to me, individually), so I think I'd better just do it by hand.
