Which company was this?

Not that this is anywhere near a decent *summary*, but there's a few things
I've noticed in Cocoon which don't seem to be implemented as nicely in
Velocity. Nonetheless I wouldn't say I were an expert at either, mind you.

* Better XSLFO support: wouldn't it be awesome to be able to browse, say,
the TM4J dev guide, in XHTML, on-line and at the same time have a PDF version
of same available at one click, all of which is generated from a single XTM
source tree?

* Nice built-in caching of XSLT output.

* No nitty-gritty special scripting language, just pure Java and XML for
Markup nerds like me. OK, I admit that last comment wasn't quite useful. :-)

Gerd, good to hear from you on the list! It's been way too quiet without
you. :-)
