An interesting twist to utilizing javascript is a new product called WebFace from Vultus. It is server independent, and uses XML, SOAP, and javascript to present an incredible client interface. Cocoon actions and xslt in the sitemap transforming logic to WebFace's xml structures could be powerful. Downside is is does cost a little, but not bad compared to other web IDE's. www.vultus.com
