Well, I'd guess that few Python hackers work on text markup languages
and formatting engines, and of those who to do, quite a few seems to
be working with SGML:

	http://www.w3.org/XML/9705/hacking
	http://www.sil.org/sgml/mcgrathParseDesc.html

and so on...

Since I'm working on SGML/XML for our company's projects, at least I
would much rather contribute to an SGML/XML based effort, than to
hack on TIM. Others milage may vary, as usual ;-)
