A couple of other things that crossed my mind while I was waiting for my
cup of tea...

- My "from __future__" comment was in jest; in any case, the ability to
  override _q_markupclass provides what's really needed to transition
  things one piece at a time.

- Markup('some text') looks an awful lot like a verb - but marking up is
  exactly what is *not* happening in that case.  How about MarkedUp,
  UnQuoted, TrustedText, or something like that?

Python 2.2 would be a minor hassle; the LWN code runs fine under 2.2, but
I'd have to upgrade the production server.  I could cope.

This looks like a good one to get in *before* that 1.0 release, anyway.
