Please name some.  Every time I think about distributing information in an open 
format, I get utterly and completely overwhelmed by XML/CSS/DTD definitions and 
specs which I do not have weeks to learn.  If it is EASY (meaning, it will take 
me less than a week to get up to speed), I will learn it.  But you have to at 
least come close to my current workflow.
