Cool! First came across the idea of 'htmlification' in Orbit, which
used function environments to map unknown names onto tag constructors.
I see you've also got an explicit declaration style which I used in
Orbiter (a personal mini-Orbit).

Yes, there are a lot of similarities indeed. I wasn't aware of that Orbiter before,

but what got me trying this out was Leaf Corcoran's article:

http://leafo.net/guides/dsl-in-lua.html

(I didn't made too much effort to search for prior art before starting).

I'm pretty happy how it turned out. All the credits to Leaf for the initial ideas,

and also to people behind Lua, :-).
