Would these include using XML to allow tags to interact at the rendering
stage?  This would allow handling of non-sgml syntax such as CSS.  For
example:
	+ My Folder
		+ XSL Style sheet (mystyle)
			+ <Style> render method
		
		+ MyDocument
			+ <DTD = mystyle>
			+ <Style> ... </Style>

Please note, I'm still working on pyexpat for Windows so I don't have XML
Doc under Windows yet (zmake messes up somewhere in Setup.in
auto-conversion)

My renderer suggestion was just to ensure that if we were to have syntax
dime-a-dozen we didn't have to write to a specific syntax ;)
