reST seems quite nifty for quickly banging out simple documents, but how
does it hold up when do thing more complex things?  Yes, SGML/XML is a
pain, but once you have your docs in that format, you can do just about
anything with it in terms of formatting or even machine parsing.

I like that CSS by the way.  I edited the pd docs in the CVS to use a CSS,
so you can make them look the same.
