Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Long-term ideas

[<la...@us...>]

Openwiki (http://www.openwiki.com/) generates pages in XML and uses XSLT for 
display purposes.

I think there is something to be said for storing pages in a semi-rendered 
format, which could be XML.  That way, a lot of the parsing work is done when 
the page is stored, not when it is retrieved, which would result in faster 
rendering times.
