Configurable muse mark-up would be a nice feature 
in other contexts too. For example: In the
ruby-programming language a wiki-like mark-up 
syntax is used to write in-line documentation.  
If muse had a configurable mark-up feature 
muse-mode could be used to write such documentation 
and the people mending ruby-mode would not have to 
care about supporting the ruby documentation syntax 
and could concentrate on the other features of their
mode (Switching between two or more major modes 
can be accomplished by MMM mode [1]). 

Ciao Stefan

PS Does anybody know if there are other 
programming language modes for which such 
a feature would be profitable?
