I'm a little bit late to the party and haven't had time to read all the comments yet, but I like the idea and the fact that it's written in Erlang. So I just wanted to ask: is it intended to be open-source? I couldn't find the link to the source on the site and as mentioned I didn't read through comments yet. EDIT: I skimmed all the comments but still haven't found any mention about source code. Also, I remembered YA…

I'm not quite done with it yet. I may post source after I've used it for awhile and worked out any kinks. Honestly doing it in Erlang was not a great idea. I had to do a lot of micro optimization to make it run at reasonable speeds. I hope to rewrite it in D one day and maybe make a NIF plugin.

I was suspecting this and it's one of the main reasons I'd like to see the source :-) Please don't hesitate to post it when you think it's ready!

Once again see Erik Naggum's "Enamel"

That's the first thing that came to mind as I read the article. More info: http://genius.cat-v.org/erik-naggum/xml-sgml-nml-lisp

Is there actually a public Lisp library to do that? Erik is no longer among us and brought his code with him; Tim Bradshaw had his version called TML/DTML that AFAIK was never released.
