...My feeling is that use of Cocoon must change some aspects of how you work... if you do not want to change, then maybe stick to JSP or other template-type systems?...
I didn't follow the beginning of this discussion, but wouldn't a technique like the "style-free XSLT" presented in http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/2000/07/26/xslt/xsltstyle.html allow one to work with "visible" HTML templates, even if doing the transformations in XSLT?
I haven't used this yet but the idea looks really interesting. If you look at the spec_layout.xml file down the page, it is very close to a "normal" HTML page, yet allows XSLT transforms to insert data at the correct positions.
Note that there are also other HTML generation mechanisms in Cocoon, besides XSLT. IIRC, the Petstore block samples show five different ways of generating HTML from XML.
