I've been kicking around a perverted little idea of writing an Xalan
extension which takes a text node marked up in one of the alternative markup
languages such as setext, bare bones markup language, and Clay Basket and
munges it into a well-formed XHTML fragment.

I admit half the fun of doing this would be because it's a way of
confronting Jorn Barger's complaints about XML/SGML for marking up prose
text.
