Of course, someone also invented HTML and TeX+LaTeX predates HTML by quite a
bit.

That's debatable.  Maybe most people in the python-dev community know how.
Even within this communitiy I suspect there are at least a few people who
normally use something else (like Word) to generate HTML for them.  I
suspect to use the microformat stuff you'd have to restrict your authoring
toolchain substantially, perhaps restricting it to plain old text editors.
