Ok that's good.

That's true, and its what attracted me to Lout over LaTeX, but it is
worth noting that a DSSSL user should never see either Lout or LaTeX so
Lout's usability advantages become substantially less overwhelming. On
the other hand, if Lout's usability allowed the Lout back-end to
progress more quickly than the TeX back-end, then that would be an
advantage. If it more reliably produced high quality output then that
would be another advantage.
