There are a few pieces that I'd like to see stay as customizable markup, 
the BNF rules for one because it would allow the rules to be run with a different 
set of macros and, for example, generate input to a parser generator. Once 
such a system is set up it would make it trivially easy to keep the docs 
and parser in sync.

If people really don't like the current system and if an appropriate XSLT 
library could be found, then converting the current system to generate XML 
tags and run it through some XSLT pass should be just as powerful as what 
we have now but better supported by existing tools.
