Why not just reuse the plaintext PEP format?  Two advantages are that
we don't need to write any new software to convert them to HTML, and
the source document are easier to write, since you won't have to
escape < and >, which are quite likely to occur in documents about
XML.

I'd suggest adding them to the Web tree as Martin suggested.
