I think that this wiki content management system is the beginning of a potential revolution in the Web. It foresees a time when the content can be stored anywhere in XML or valid XHTML and be whipped into a web sitethe ultimate in mash-up abilities. And all done with standards that can be incorporated into server (especially for form processing in that the pages themselves will appear to be static XHTML.
Plone is an object database built content management system, but since the objects are pythonic and not XML, it must deal primarily with the binary database store rather than pull content directly from XML like the Atom feeds that power this wiki. On the other hand, the templating system and editor for Plone produce valid XTHML. XQuery allows for invalid XHTML creation without building in the tests for validity. This wiki does not pass the test for valid XHTML (http://validator.w3.org/) unfortunately. But I think that could be fixed, and done in a way that shows a way forward to using XML/XHTML with XSLT/XQuery engines as the ultimate content management system.
