Response to: XML-Based Authoring Systems
Although no architecture will fit every situation, hopefully these responses will help out: 1) Actually, data submitted through HTML forms can be readily stored as XML data. Once the form fields are mapped to XML elements, extracting the data from each field and inserting the appropriate markup is straight forward. 2) You can still use XSLT to render XML documents in HTML even if you need to support users with older browsers. However, the XSLT transformation will have to be moved to the server (JSP, Java Servlets, ASP, etc) so the browser recieves only HTML. Brian Buehling buehling@dakota-systems.net
