Yes, I am building my own xml framework..I've seen several other CMS
solutions, but most of them I did not like. I want something generic
enough, based on open standards and open source, ie - mysql+php5,
although the xml could be delivered with any technology. Mainly what
I'm trying to nail down is a buildtime vs. runtime application, and
what vocabulary I use. Are there any standard vocabularies out there
for CMS?
