[opencms-dev] XML/XSLT with OpenCMS

I would like to store data in XML, and retrieve then render with XSLT. Is it 
as simple as adding the XSL stylesheet and using the apache.org API (or 
similar) in a JSP ??? Just as you would with any other XML/XSLT 
transformation.

Also I'm not quite sure about the best way to store the XML. I am building a 
field based add/edit interface so I can structure my data and dissallow any 
html from creeping in via content authors - but should I place the generated 
XML into a "page"/"plain"/"text" type file with an .xml extension or do it 
some other way.

I read some mails from matt butcher in the archives, is there already a 
module out there to do this.

Does it even make sense to use the cms for the xml content. (I am going to 
have to provide xml content syndication so xml is a must, but is xml + 
OpenCMS a good way?

If this is a good way to go, I assume I'll have to create a module or set of 
classes(as a layer) to do the work, which I will be happy to make open 
source - so please do contribute your ideas.

Any help/suggestions would be very appreciated.

Alex.
