Seth,
Spectra is just XML in a propriatory Allaire wrapping. Go to the Apache
site and look at Cocoon. It is possible to seperate presentation from
content.
At another level if you look at your pages and seperate the CF code from
the HTML areas, the HTML areas are just text strings, which can be stored in
a database and updated in a database while maintaining "control". One
question would be is how many dependancies are there between the CF code
areas and the HTML areas. Either CF supplies values or it selects between
alternate pieces of HTML that should be included.
Post an example of a page with a description of the kinds of changes the
clients would like to make.....
