      Thanks to reST/DPS [now Docutils --ed], I'll soon be able to go
      ahead and apply the same tools for extracting documentation out of
!     my python code.  Hey, that's a printable and a browsable version
      *for free*!  Personally, I consider this a large benefit.

      And it really is very very easy to write documents in it.  I do
!     belive that if I where ever to write a book (again) i would write
      it in ReST.
  
      And as far as I can tell from the specs, ReST solves most of the
!     problems I have had with structured text. A few things gets a
!     little more complicated and some get simpler. All in all a good
      bargain.
  
!     I would certainly use it. I also hope that it gets integrated into
!     Zope.

!     I would very much like to see reStructuredText, or some minor
!     variation on it, move forward as a "standard" for doc-strings very
!     soon.  I have long lamented not having a prescribed format *and*
!     an associated processing tool suite included in the standard
!     library.  Even if the format isn't perfect (I think it looks very
!     good), it is time to pick a reasonable candidate and go.
