Pretty cool indeed, and from a glance it seems to be very clean.
I really rather have a rocking roff at my fingertips, however.
XPath, XSL, etc., i luckily never had to deal with. I.e., i even
bought a recommendet book in 1999, Goldfarb/Prescod, "The XML
Handbook", but: _don't buy it_, since it doesn't offer anything
real but advertisement. Buuuuuuh! (It is outdated anyway.)
Roff would deserve to become being more hip again, and as for many
good things i am confident it will happen again. It is good.
