I can only speak for myself, but it seems that noweb is over-kill.  For 
my purposes, I would like to see a method of supporting statistical 
package code within latex.  Something backwards compatible like latex 
environments such as Rinput, SASinput, etc.  But, with sweave-like 
functionality that would rely on some multi-mode under-pinnings, maybe 
mmm-mode?  Of course, Tony is the expert in this area and I'm just 
ranting :o)  However, if he or anyone else has any ideas/interest of how 
this might be done, I'd like to hear it.
