I looked around a bit and found a python module for handling
structured text.  It looks like it converts back and forth between
HTML and structured text, which isn't exactly what I want, but I
can probably fudge it a bit.  There's also some XML tools for
python, but I'm just not grokking how to use them... =(  This whole
XML thing sounds like a nice idea, but thusfar it doesn't seem very
user friendly... =P
