Technically it would be possible to run Quickbook with an appropriate 
template that generates source code directly skipping the need to use 
XML. But this is closer to what Joel mentions than what Dave is 
suggesting. The point being that both options are possible, and we 
likely want to have both to allow for a range of lightweight to complex 
process.

It's getting there, going through all the output actions and turning 
them into templates, and testing them is slow work :-( Although the code 
that's currently checked in has a good portion implemented (as of 
yesterday). I'd say 60% of the output in regular looking docs is 
template driven now. I have the hard step of restructuring how lists are 
processed next.
