In a few days, that should be possible. I need t install a few add-ons
first.

Cocoon is a Java Servlet, made to run in any servlet 2.x environment
(although Cocoon 2 requires Servlet 2.2 or higher). it generates XML
from XML and XSP - XML with embedded Java and/or PHP (or, if you use
AxKit instead of cocoon, Perl) - and SQL and a few other things. it can
then run it through a XSLT transformation stage, and output whatever you
want. 

In other words, with the right style sheets, you can generate XML,
XHTML, WML, and PDF (with the right add-ons packages) from the same
source. 

I like Cocoon a lot, and it's on my list of "things to add to fatalpha
now that Java is installed"
