For a set of new sites we are going down the route of custom doc types. (For good or bad) What is worrying
is that I can't actually see any reason why custom doc types are a bad thing.
The benifits are quite big:
content is stored with a semantic structure (xhtml outside of a browser is meaningless)
easier content re-use (although I've singularly failed to get that goose to lay that particular golden egg)
better searching (possibly even auto updating of content but again that could be pushing it)
content is classified much better / easier, leads (and it seems it really is) to a cleaner IA
we are also hoping to push content translation and the problem of context can only be solved with semantic xml (not sure perhaps?)
What are the draw backs of custom doc types ?

Subject: How are you doing templates?
I'm curious as to how others are doing templates for subsections of their site to vary the style and some content. I was going to do custom resource types but the howto suggests that's not appropriate and I can see why. How do you do it? Custom pipelines? Logic within the an XSLT?
Thanks,
Sean
