Last I checked Conglomerate is not dead. They are working on
implementing all of it now. It seems that they are keen to make
something really cool - evidenced by the quality of the prototype that
is available at the moment.

It would be awesome have an integrated editor/parser/stylesheet
processor/viewer. Perhaps when Nautilus is doing DocBook you could just
embed a Nautilus instance in an editor and call it an IDE..
