I have a similar project that's currently a bit stranded, that is a
*generic* markup engine for formats such as Markdown (atox.sf.net).
The currently unreleased version works by a chain of filters, passing
PYX events (start/end tag, text, processing element, etc.) along a
pipeline, and you can insert whatever filters you wish.

If you're interested in having a look or in discussing some
particulars, just give me a holler :)
