Ignore Non-DocBook tags?

Hi All,

Thank you for the help!  It makes the DocBook community a very nice 
place to work!

I have a set of tags which are not DocBook, but are XML, and I want 
DocBook to ignore them.  For example, below should ignore <gene> and 
</gene>, but keep the CLK-1 hot text.   Whats the best way to do this?

<para> The name
	      <ulink url="http://www.weblink.org/db/gene/gene?name=clk-1">
                     <gene grammar ='NNS' reference='direct'> CLK-1 
</gene>
                </ulink>
	    should link to the proper page in wormbase.
</para>

should be "interpreted" as

<para> The name
	      <ulink url="http://www.weblink.org/db/gene/gene?name=clk-1">
                   CLK-1
                </ulink>
	    should link to the proper page in wormbase.
</para>


Cheers,

Tristan
