XLMC is cool.  I have one problem with it though ...
When you compile HTML files into a Java class file
you loose the ability to change the HTML file on the
fly.  This is something that really appeals to web
page designers.  If you want to change the look and
feel of the HTML wouldn't you need to use XLMC to
create another Java class file?  This is probably not
something that the web page designer would know
how to do.  So there is still the problem of separating
the HTML development from the Java development.
PreparedHTML allows you to change the HTML file
at will.

Am I wrong about this?  Is there some way to change
an HTML file and see the results immediately, without
having to load a new class file generated with XMLC?

I am new to XMLC and I could have missed something.
I really appriciate the comments I have gotten so far.
