Currently I have an abstract base class called 'Markup' and a subclass
called 'HTMLMarkup'.  There could also be a 'XMLMarkup' class but is
would be the same as 'HTMLMarkup'.

This could be an over-generalization.  I can't think of any other
examples of markup languages that have different quoting rules than HTML
and that people might want to use in a PTL module.  Can anyone else?

Yup.  I can make it work with Python <2.2 but it's messier.  Does anyone
care?
