Re: Scott's Hypothetical Intranet

Hi,

I've got a system which is highly dynamic.  It uses Javascript to
create pages on the fly by parsing XML and integrate the pages
with soundfiles.  (The XML parser is also dynamically configurable
so that tags can be specified at time of parsing.)
This allows flexibility for changing the presentation as needed.

Definitely not interoperable, but highly usable.
