Meta-language for mxTextTools

I am aiming to use Marc-André Lemburg's mxTextTools package for an
application in my (hah!) spare time. Being me, the first thing I've set out
to do is to provide the missing meta-language so that I can avoid typing in
the tag tables as "bare" tuples.
What I've done so far is to produce an alpha version of the meta-language
documentation, which can be found at
http://www.tibsnjoan.demon.co.uk/mxtext/metalang.html
Translations of the examples from the mxTextTools distribution are also
supplied.
I still have to actually *implement* the thing (I expect to do this with
mxTextTools itself, with appropriate hand-bootstrapping), but since I'm
about to go off on holiday for a couple of weeks, it seems worth
"publishing" my thoughts so far and getting any comments.
Note that I am *not* claiming that this is a particularly sophisticated
animal, nor that it is necessarily the best beast that could be dreamt of -
just that it is something I can work with and should be easy to implement.
