I'm willing to set up a basic site with Forrest as I'm doing with Incubator, so you can all start committing in XML format.
From trying to browse the 'new' xml.apache.org with links and failingmiserably, I am going to be against any Forrest-rendered commons site that has a 'skin' that does not render cleanly in text-only browsers. (If such a skin is made, I would strongly urge for that skin to replace the current xml.apache.org skin.)
I do not profess that I am knowledgable to suggest a solution in Forrest to this problem. However, I can easily create such a site using the ASF Anakia templates. -- justin
