can't.  the team and other contributors are in = the process of building
components that may be usable in constructing a = future version of

not for what the faq is talking about.  i thought = it might provoke
some lateral thought on your part, but plainly i was = fantasising.

you seemed to want something you could use now, so i = thought i'ld
offer something to help (since i'd been there = myself).  sorry to
disappoint...

i haven't _decided_ anything about latex3.  many = people have made many
proposals that look pretty good to me.  but i = have to admit i've yet
to encounter a markup language which does away with = any declaration of
