Neat!  If either of you are willing to write some documentation for
these plugins (and assign the copyright for the documentation changes
to the FSF), I'd be happy to mention them in the Muse manual.

Or just let me know the web location of the code, and I'll put a link
to it on http://www.mwolson.org/projects/EmacsMuse.html.

The muse-xml.el file publishes to an XML format.
