Thats an interesting use case. Cocoon may be quite large for your needs. Its going to be awhile before POI is ready (though I'm not admitting to any plans at the moment) to tackle an XML API outside of Cocoon. The simple thing is doing this ports is very labor intensive and supporting an XML API would take away from that mission. You should be able to adapt the serializer APIs in Cocoon to work outside of Cocoon as they do support standard interfaces. (content handler and the such).
read this thread to hear me declare that such a use case does not exist: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=101543492300002&r=1&w=2 Sylvain, if you're listening... have fun.. (this is the first one) Regardless, we don't have the resources at the moment to tackle a full fledged XML project w/in POI itself. I'll reconsider this later.
