The problem of *not* using w3 for saints is that one have to invent
another markup language, and who want yet another markup language?

But Emacs (and GNU) already has its own simple markup language, namely
Texinfo (it also has info, but info sucks as a markup language, so
let's forget that).  So maybe the way to go would be to create a
texi-browser extended with embedded Emacs Lisp and saint-specific
tags.  We might even start with the "embedded Emacs Lisp and
saint-specific tags", but in a "may eventually grow into a
texi-browser" forward thinking way.
