If anyone is interested, my pure HTML DocUtils writer is now complete 
to the point where it can parse/process the 'test.txt' document in the 
DocUtils cvs archive.  That is, it should not be able to handle any 
ReST source and produce legible HTML that does not use CSS.

The writer is designed to produce HTML that is compliant with 
O'Reilly's article submission guidelines [for their DevCenter, at 
least].

The output is currently not as pretty as it could be-- 
suggestion/input/patches would be most welcome-- but it should be 
'correct' in structure.

It can be found in the bbum/DocArticle/ sandbox of the DocUtils project 
and is packaged as a standard 'disutils' based module.   Install 
DocUtils, then install DocArticle.  A command line tool -- 
docarticle.py -- can used to process a ReST document.
