What about Python source? For my mockup I've used something like:

pages = StaticPage("Python",
    StaticPage("Documentation",
       StaticPage("2.1",
           crumb="Python 2.1",
           title="Python 2.1",
           url="root:doc_21.html",
           localkeywords=[]
        ),
     ),
     StaticPage("Developers",
         crumb="Developers",
         title="Stuff for developers",
         url="root:dev.html"
     ),
     crumb="Home",
     title="Python",
     url="root:index.html",
     inheritablekeywords=["Python"]
)

The problem is that this might scale badly if we have many pages.

What I wanted to try out was whether it's possible to *replace*
HT2HTML.

Not for the CVS repository with the website.

I could download a few of the pages to try it out, but the real test
would be converting the complete site.
