Has anyone developed a listing of standard macro-names (i.e., and API)
for common template-toolkit snippets (i.e. "widgets")?

Along the same vein, has anyone linked TT2 with a structured-text
processor like STX or EtText?

What I'm thinking of is a system where an end user can submit content in
lightly-formatted plain text and instead of converting it directly to
HTML (via ettext2html), runs it through one of a set of processors that
can convert it to a standardish TT2 syntax, and then use template
toolkit to render the HTML using a site-specific TT2-based style macro
library.

The motivation for this is probably pretty obvious: my content
submitters don't know HTML and probably wouldn't be bothered to learn
TT2 syntax either but do seem to groove on wiki-style syntaxes.
Unfortunately, the site uses various stylistic elements for representing
headers, data tables, etc. that I do as TT2 macros (marketing is talking
about doing a sitewide redesign in the near future, so I need the
abstraction).
