Speaking as a documentation person of the world, I tend to prefer
XML/SGML ways of working; certainly the group I work with are hoping
to use (our own) XML a lot more in the future. But then, I -am- an
incorrigable Emacser.

[What would be useful for Guile would be bindings for expat, with
perhaps a validating parser and XSL/DSSSL transformer built on top of
that. Just a thought.]
