Out of interest... which part of Cocoon lacks "date/time awareness" - the sitemap? Can't a (custom-written) java module execute/call an external program? Also not sure about "directory listing" - does the Directory Generator not serve in that role?

Reports of XSLT's demise are much exaggerated :-) ///Peter -- This message is subject to the CSIR's copyright terms and conditions, e-mail legal notice, and implemented Open Document Format (ODF) standard.
