I have had my eye on cl-typesetting for quite a while.  It looks very
interesting, but the major problem currently seems to be a complete
lack of documentation.  Also, I think only demo-level mathematics
abilities are currently implemented, and someone will have to add a
fair bit of code to handle the full TeX mathematics typesetting
abilities.  Maybe this has changed since the last time I looked though.
