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.
Thanks, everyone,
