I really don't have much to add to Maarten and Mike's comments here,
honestly.

I like the idea of a plaintext-like base from which everything is
generated, but the only non-HTML markup that would probably be
standardized enough and not proprietary and/or stupid is something like
XML (wait, I did say not stupid....). ;-)

And if we're doing XML, might as well do HTML.

So yeah, barebones HTML, with all basic formatting included (bolding,
section numbering, etc) but with all styling in css/js as appropriate,
where that stuff can change as needed. I guess we trust CC enough to not
use CSS to hide certain parts of the license text ;-)

Also, a reminder as it relates to this topic: the annotation tool and
anchor tags are going to be a part of 4.0, right?

Annotation tool for marking errata and the anchor tags so I can like to
a specific section of the license, eg 4(b).
