Unclear. I think I'll investigate mod_perl and see if I can tighten up
some of the security holes. I'm not planning to do anything with this
"real soon". And it would be nice to have a solution that didn't require
a web server.

Daniel, is there any sort of hook in xsltproc that would allow this to
be grafted on? Maybe a catalog entry that sends the URI to a bit of
python for resolution? Hmm... :-)
