I have written a SGML to Lout translator in Scheme, for the ISO 12083
"standard" document types (books and articles). I've used it for
a book I've written, but it is not quite finished yet. Watch comp.text.sgml
for an announcement, but I can't promise when I will find the time
to package this up for public release.
