I thought of tcl scripting more on the lines of a "macro language". Much
more lightweight than a full system for describing/manupulating/
interfacing objects in a possibly distributed system. 

Instead I thought of something that would allow you to write a (most
possibly used-just-once) sricpt for adding extra identation to the
paragraphs follwing a "heading" or change the alignment (or whatever) of
paragraphs starting with/containg/... etc.
