I'll try to get to this soon, but I'm hitting the road for a day or  
two and might not get to it right away...

I used "method" simply because that's what was in the ElementTree  
alpha. I suppose "format" would be just as accurate, if not more so.

For the record, I'm in favor of html vs xhtml, rather than xml vs  
html, though I don't think it matters all that much. I'm quite willing  
to do the tweaking when the time comes, if necessary.

You mentioned licenses in an earlier email -- most of the additions  
here are lifted straight out of Fredrik Lundh's most recent 1.3 alpha,  
do you think we should check with him?

I spent more time trying to make git work than I did patching  
markdown! But it seems to be the wave of the future, so I guess I'll  
buckle down and study.
