I was wrong... in that case, I will answer.

sgml has long been used for professional publishing ( see adobe
framemaker).

The idea is that you can use fast/simple editors such as vi or emacs and
put in your own markup tags and save the processing (ie, generate
toc/footnotes/end notes/appendix/etc.) for later.

WYSIWYG is an obstacle to writing but is in fact an artifact of
publishing and in that case, you can merely concentrate on writing and
leave all of the stylizing until the writing is finished.

Seemed to me to be a more than adequate suggestion that you mocked.
