Thanks very much Elminster, after weeks or even months of trying to find a solution, your method is the first one that has worked for me (I successfully restored the highlights for all 3 of the books/articles I tried), thereby in principle giving me access again to hundreds or thousands of highlights.
The only part that didnt work though is to do it through "find and replace" (hence, automatically all at once, rather than manually remove every instance) in one file, let alone in several files at once. You use
<sony:data(.+\n)*.+<\/sony:data>
but this didnt work for me. If anybody knows what line I can use to for this find-and-replace process in OpenOffice, or Word, or any other freely available text editor, I'd be very grateful. Having to manually remove thousands of those tags would be a huge hassle.
