I don't have anything to offer other than take23.org I'm afraid. It simply defines stylesheets in .htaccess files, stylesheets stored in /stylesheets/, and XML files on the filesystem. > The site I'd like to move to this format is currently in OO Perl/cgi, > with persistent objects (user/customer/order/etc) stored under > PostgreSQL.

AxKit at the moment has more facilities for separating design from content than it does for doing something more structured like MVC. So focus first on separating the content from the presentation. Put your design into XSLT or XPathScript, and your code bits into XSP files. Build up from there. Sorry if that's not much help - I don't think anyone's written anything on doing larger sites yet. I'm sure people like Robin Berjon have more insight into it though.
