It certainly looks interesting. I'd be interested to hear other people's 
opinions, as I've not used *Doc systems much. This one is flexible, and 
makes good use of Lua's lightweight string/table syntax, but I'm wondering 
if it's too flexible (i.e. confusing) and whether the syntax is 
lightweight enough to be reasonably easy to read in an editor.

I can certainly see myself being convinced. I think the main thing it 
would take is a very simple (and reasonably strict) set of "tags".
