This is somewhat off-topic, but I have been thinking of doing what you are
doing, but "inside-out."  I would like to make an XML version of Python's
syntax, similar to Greg Badros's JavaML (see
http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/gjb/JavaML/index.html).  If this
"alternative" Python syntax were available, then it seems to me it would
lend itself even more to embedding XHTML inside it.

I'm planning to write up a PEP on this, hopefully by New Year's Day.
Comments welcome.
