Curl Poetry Markup

My simplest options for Curl poetry markup can be seen at http://poets.aule-browser.com

A typical case is

{poem
  {stanza
     first line
     second line
  }

  {stanza
     line the first
     line the second
  }
}

where {poem } and {stanza } are predefined for layout and style.

The Curl browser plugin or RTE from http://www.curl.com is required to view this markup in a browser.

Variations may include

  {poem some-title,
  }

or
  {stanza 3,
  }

and the like.

The intent is to leave the text of the poem almost untouched and perfectly readable.

Some of this can be achieved with HTML alone but effects as powerful as those with Curl would require adding both CSS and JavaScript.
