The alternative is to just script it using Javascript. Not that difficult, and perfect separation of content, behaviour and style. From experience with an XForms-like language I can say that it’t really hard to avoid having presentational markup, and the best way to do that is to just use presentational elements for the navigation, and have separate documents for the content, which are then included. ~Grauw -- Ushiko-san!
