cl-typesetting is quite interesting. I finally got a copy of TeX - The Program in dead tree form, and if the author of cl-typesetting can be persuaded to release cl-typesetting under a garden variety Modified BSD license (it currently has some rather unique advertising restrictions) I think it would be an awesome project to implement all the abilities of TeX in cl-typesetting. Lout also deserves consideration. This is actually what I would consider an important first step to a high quality mathematical document interface to Axiom (my real goal) since things like linebreaking need lots of information about the typesetting details and a cl-typesetting program would be the perfect foundation - given proper handling it might very well be possible to have TeXmacs-like typesetting rendering in a WYSIWYG environment. Of course it would take a fair bit of work to duplicate all of the LaTeX and LaTeX package functionality that has been created over the last couple decades, but I suspect given the flexibility of lisp it would be quite possible.
