[suggestions for hideous old languages sought]


Dare one nominate something like SGML? We may, likewise, not be short
of implementations here -- but implementations of what, exactly? But
I know from the zealots that it's gonna be great. So perhaps this
nomination should be withdrawn until some future date (at least until
after someone decides what the grammar really looks like?).


Okay. Here's another: ZGRASS. Anyone remember it? Unfortunately,
I don't *think* I can come up with a spec for it. But I'll grub around
and see.
