[Phpwiki-talk] Long-term ideas

[Matti A. <ma...@ik...>]

Has there been any discussion whether PhpWiki should be converted to use 
internally an XML-based page format and to render the pages on-screen 
using XSL transforms? That would be great in the sense that after that 
it would be awfully easy to interface PhpWiki with other tools 
(outputting pages in Docbook/LaTeX/WAP/XHTML basic/whatever, parsing the 
pages easily with external tools etc.). I suppose it would also make 
things such as optional Java applet -based wysiwyg editors easier to 
implement.

Apache::AxKit wiki, while very simplistic, has taken this approach. Of 
course, the drawback would be increased reliance on complex external 
libraries, and it would probably require a more or less complete rewrite 
of PhpWiki.

Do you think I'm just blinded by fancy acronyms, or would it make sense?
