What Cocoon and Midgard both do is separate content from layout
and offer an programming (scripting) environment.

Cocoon does this by keeping all of it's content in XML files
which are rendered into various formats (ao HTML) when
requested. Since it is a Java program it is easy to extend
and deploys naturally on multiple (non-unix) platforms.

Cocoon is in its current release more a proof-of-concept than
a production-ready server, and doesn't offer content management
or user management, nor automatic templating. I also don't
know of any XML authoring tools[0]; with Midgard you can accept
HTML content as published or uploaded by your HTML editor of
choice.
