Good point.  That's pretty straightforward with minimal learning
curve -- most of us are familiar with HTML and it looks similar.

Yes, XML is verbose and ugly (IMO) compared to TeX but probably you
don't often need to put much inline markup, so it's acceptable.

Would Pango support any sort of equation rendering (like fractions
as in TeX \frac{x}{y}?  Maybe other math rendering would be nice
but that's the most common “hard” thing that comes to mind.

What else would we like to put on schematics?  I think equations
are nice because you can show how you derived various values in the
circuit.
