Thanks for the info.

Having looked more closely at this, I guess it now stands between
learning LaTeX and the memoir class, or learning ConTeXt. There are
things that talk in favour for both these roadmaps, but I have not
decided yet. 

One of the issues is how to solve a problem in ConTeXt if it suddenly
becomes clear this or that feature is not implemented.
