Well, there's not much in it, but here's my reasoning:
1) You can read stx straight from the filesystem as plain text , which
is nice for developers
2) You don't have to translate it - it happens for you :-P
3) There's supposedly the promise of being able to output it as ps,
pdf, etc.
4) We'd have to come up with a standard for which tags to use if we
went with html, whereas stx enforces a decision for you.
