How about using something like reStructuredText [1,2] instead of HTML
for the markup to make the commit messages still easily readable in
plain text form. ReStructuredText then converts easily to HTML for
when you put it into to digest page. Using <digest></digest> could
still be used to mark the text block for digestion though I guess.

Starting from the sort of thing that Danny's commit digest used to do
(lists of interesting commits, activity graphs and a news report-type
item) and adding all the padams stuff sounds like a great idea.
