The most notable difference is that Forrest actually HAS a DTD. The XML behind jakarta.apache.org is most accurately described as stripped-down, well-formed HTML. No pretence of separating content from presentation. The xml-site2 files contain <b>, <i>, <hr>, <font>, @valign, @align, @size, <h1>, <h2>, etc. I'm not sure why they even bothered with XML. There, I feel much better :) --Jeff (trying to write a stylesheet to convert that stuff into Forrest's format, for the Maven plugin, and not feeling kindly towards anakia's XML format..)
