Please also see the ReStructureText effort which addresses a lot of the 
problems that STXNG is perceived to have. It's really very nice, and one of 
these days I hope to get it wrapped in a Zope Product.

Note specifically:

If something you see as being a problem in STXNG isn't addressed there, I'm 
sure the author of ReST would love to hear about it!
