It's a pretty neat project. I always bristled at SILE being described as a typesetting program. It's a desktop publishing suite. The whole advantage of roff and TeX is that you're freed from micromanaging everything. SILE takes that base from TeX, and then puts back in all the knobs that a certain kind of person likes to fiddle with. This means if you're collaborating with any sized group on a document, and you're using SILE, someone will turn it into a figure-positioning bikeshedding competition. khm
