I'm building conduits[1] for PilotManager[2]. They're Perl based,
built on top of pilot-link[3]. There are some folks working on the
Java bindings for pilot-link and I might someday build a new sync
framework that's Java based, but for the moment I'm content with
PilotManager.

The DocBook Open Repository project at SF.net
(http://sf.net//projects/docbook) maintains a set of XSL stylesheets
that work with DocBook XML. All serious future development is in the
XSL toolchain, so it's XML based not SGML based.

I'm sure it would be possible, but it's probably easier to just build
the HTML offline and publish them simultaneously.
