But is reST rich enough and extensible enough?

Good!

Should I find the time, I guess I could try an xmlproc based
validator.

OK, my first try of a conversion tool is finished. A version
of the Python site build from your download tar can be found at:

http://styx.livinglogic.de/~walter/www.python.org-xhtmlified/

All .ht were transformed with the conversion tool:

http://styx.livinglogic.de/~walter/www.python.org-xhtmlified/ht2xht.py

To run this script, XIST is required 
(http://www.livinglogic.de/Python/xist/)

scripts/ht2html/HTParser.py must be copied to the root directory,
and the patch 
http://styx.livinglogic.de/~walter/www.python.org-converted/diff.txt
has to be applied to fix the bugs that even tidy can't fix.

Bye,
