I'd think that Scribe (at http://www-sop.inria.fr/mimosa/fp/Scribe/) 
would be a much better fit with Squeak semantics, and at worst we 
only really would need it ported to our new restricted Scheme 
interpreter. ;)

It's based on scheme, is object-oriented, uses lots of keyword 
settings, and has support for Latex and HTML built in, as well as 
Texinfo, man-pages, and straight ASCII. But this architecture is 
extensible. It also allows for evaluating programs right in the 
middle of your document.

Seriously, it seems to have a fine model that translates the best and 
is nicely abstract. I should mention however, that I don't have the 
time to specifically work on this in the near future.
Comments?
