Interesting. At a glance, it sounds like it still doesn't address my rant above (though I don't see how it could). And I would have preferred to see XML abandoned and have a unified language for content and presentation (note that doesn't preclude separation of actual content and presentation - I'd just like to see them both use a single common langauge...and no XML). But other than that, it sounds very similar to what I've been wanting to do. Definitely worth a closer look.
