My feeling is that Cocoon really represents a larger framework that is meant (in part) to allow content to be converted/delivered in multiple flavors (PDF, HTML, etc). There is likely more to it than that but, again, that's my general sense. The Cocoon framework allows one to build pipelines (output of one step becomes the input to the next) to order to achieve the conversion/delivery but that is only a part of the framework. When Cocoon was designed, the pipeline mechanism had to be built from scratch as there was no "standard" for pipelines. XProc, on the other hand, is now that standard. As I understand it, it is not meant as a web-framework, delivery framework, or anything other than just the [XML] pipeline definition where the tasks are those than can be considered as core to XML processing...XSLT, XQuery, validation, conformance, etc. If Cocoon was redesigned, XProc could be considered as an option for implanting the Cocoon pipelines. XProc is intended as an option over building yet another pipeline (from scratch). Caveat...my experience with either of these is limited but I've spent a fair amount of time writing my own pipelines and wish that something like XProc (and an implementation or two) was around 5 years ago...would have same a fair amount of time. > -----Original Message----- > From: Costello, Roger L.
