The DirectoryGenerator (Cocoon 2) generates directory listings as XML. This is what C2 
uses to present HTML directory listings. Have a look at the samples, namely this 
pipeline:
   <map:match pattern="**/">
    <map:generate type="directory" src="{1}"/>
    <map:transform src="stylesheets/system/directory2html.xsl"/>
    <map:serialize/>
   </map:match>
on the stock sitemap.xmap.
