It may be unfair, but my impression is that TeX and typesetting / layout systems

to a more "universal" markup format might broaden my options, but I don't
want a lowest common denominator solution.
As soon as documents become more complex and one wants control over th
elayout all these alternative-to-tex formats in the end are not better
than structured tex input. The simpler the input tagging, the more
complex the escaping from that. So in the end it all depends on what
kind of documents one has to deal with. And it's all about abstraction
and structure: the more, the easier.
