you mean Wikipedia's software (for the "Speakable
Version" link), right?

Yes, that's the idea, tweaking the Wiki's
"rendering" engine as to
produce proper "markup" for reading, as opposed to
the two existing
variants or markup (regular and print).
I also proposed a "simple" rendering version some
time ago IIRC, don't
remember what came out of that. My idea was to be
able to access the
articles as plain text -- no links, no images, no
markup, no nothing,
just plain (maybe flowed, as in the MIME type?) text
with proper spacing
(one empty line between paragraphs, bullets
represented as asterisks and
indented lists, etc). That could be used for various
purposes, for
instance it would make it really easy to integrate
in third-party online
applications, such as multiplayer games (just one
example that came to
mind).
