Looks almost exactly like XMLC from http://www.enhydra.org/.  It's an
interesting idea to use straight HTML, since it enables you to take HTML
generated by authoring tools and use it immediately, but it seems like it
does tie your program closely to the structure of the documents.  Am I
correct in thinking that if you want to put a piece of text pulled from a
database into a page you have to know exactly where it should end up in
the HTML parse tree?
