We found someone interested in converting the LaTeX to ReST, didn't we?  :-)

If we can come up with a good recommendation, it'll take hold fairly
thoroughly.  Not quickly at first, but once there's value (tools) to
be had it'll happen.

The value for the standard library is that the documentation
maintenance can be moved closer to the code, and is less likely to get
out of sync.
