it's build on top of the Apache Cocoon framework. This is based on Java,
but the major programming work is done in xslt. And here the work of the
TAML perfectly fits in, as it is done in xslt, too. But it may need some
time to get used to this environment.

Our work is open source, generally. But the current state isn't publicly
available, yet. Major refactoring underway to fit into the Java
repository world ...

Maybe we could meet in Bonn and we could walk thru the major building
blocks?

Ok, let's start our new profession as standards archaeologist :-)
I would guess it's ten years back when we designed these foundations of
our structures ...
