Yes, this was my idea. However, going the XML/XSL way we still need to handle the incompatibilities between the document models. I don't know XSL, so my contributions to such a project would be limited to answering questions about Docutils/reStructuredText and testing. If you are interested, there is reference material in http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/ including the Docutils Generic DTD http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/docutils.dtd and an (incomplete) description of the document model http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/doctree.html Thanks, Günter
