eXist is great, also has a suite of Ant tasks (a bit flaky though
getting better).

I think the approach needs to take into account several potential
upstream routes; xdoclet definately being one of them.

so the process could be;

Step 1: aggregate source

[source (xhtml)
source (docbook)
source (xdoclet)
source (rss/atom)
source (whatever xml)
....]

we could create a pluggable arch and just do those that we are
interested in...and leave it to others to implement if they want.

Step 2: generate canonical Ant Doc format which should render something
in the browser so we dont have to go another transform step

Step 3: XSLT generates final format

what u think?
