A more concise definition of the "rule" is clear when you look at the
actual implementation of the Apache HTTP server's configuration -- the
content of the directory "/www/${foo}" on Apache server
"www.apache.org" ***is*** the canonical content of the "${foo}"
website. How it gets created is not of interest to the webserver.
All of the choices that Ted mentions are in current use by some
projects and subprojects ... but you are by no means constrained by
the listed set of technologies for static content.
Dynamic content is a different story -- that is where the various
projects will likely diverge in significant ways in their
implementation.
