The key idea of the NG StructuredText:

  Split processing into multiple steps:

    o Basic StructuredText parsing breaks an input string into a
      hierarchical paragraph data structure. (This is currently list based, but
      wants to be a DOM.)

    o Optional steps process the structured text into a more
      specialized data structure that reflects classification of
      paragraphs and their text. This is where specific text formating
      rules, like the classic StructuredTextRules are applied. (The
      output of this wants to be a DOM too.) This step is performed
      with one or more parsers.

      Parsers are used like functions, however, they are typcally
      instances of classes that are designed to be customized via
      inheritence. 

    o Outputters take the data structures produced with the previous
      steps and produce some sort of output, typically text, such as
      HTML or XML text.
