This is conceptually not as exciting as the graphical shell stuff but I was talking to Adam Hyde last week and he told me that the Booktype / FLOSS Manuals / Booki crew have been cooking up some cool stuff that can render HTML + CSS to proper page layouts in the browser (which can then export precision PDFs):
https://github.com/sourcefabric/BookJS
You will need a bleeding edge version of Chromium (23+):
https://launchpad.net/~a-v-shkop/+archive/chromium-dev
but Mozilla & co are supposed to support CSS page extentions in the next few months.
Some ports of LaTeX based typesetting features, like hyphenation and justification, are in the works.
I don't love HTML but this might be a nice setup for quick-n-dirty layout systems especially when combined with web based authoring tools like SketchSpace, Aloha-editor, etc.

Hi, Brendan
That sounds like an interesting development, indeed. A "bridge" between web layout and print layout. I don't have the last version of Chrome now, I'll come back to this later.
Best, JT

Pagemaker was trying to fill this bridge, using XML, some years ago.
