Hello all, I've had a go at summarising the key aims of LaTeX3, as I understand them, on my blog (http://www.texdev.net). I'd be interested to know how close I've got to the team's vision! There's also a very interesting comment there about the shortcomings of LaTeX2e versus ConTeXt (http://www.texdev.net/2009/01/19/latex3-key-points/#comments). Joseph Wright
