XML output

[Ben N. <ben...@pc...>]

Hi.

I've just played around with webmin in the last hour or so, changing
web-lib and index.cgi, to make webmin output valid xhtml... It seems
that it'd be pretty easy to change some of the modules to output xml,
and then run an xsl stylesheet over the top to convert the xml/xsl to
html. 

(My website is an example of this: http://www.ripcord.co.nz/).

Before I jump in over my head and start cutting and chopping - could I
convert some modules to output sensible xml without forking the code?

If I do my own little fork - What version should I fork? 

Can I convince you all to convert the entire codebase to outputting xml
with serverside xslt processing? ;)

WRT/ XSLT:
  XSL has advantages over other templating engines:
	[a] 	It is a w3c recommendation, uses lots of open standards.
	[b] 	On mozilla 1.2 / ie6 you can send xml and xsl to the
browser 
		separately and the browser will apply the stylesheet.

  And for me personally:
	[a] 	I've got some nice xsl stylesheets sitting here, 
		to create collapsible trees, do xml-rpc via js, 
		browser-side sortable tables, etc.

Regards,
Ben
