Probably my english is worse than I thought! :-D

Well. I'd like to build a framework for web development as described in
http://9fans.net/archive/2008/11/748
http://9fans.net/archive/2008/11/796

Since XML (and XSLT) are so diffused, it would allow to delegate the (not
so) tiny client/browser to dressup data toward javascript and to optimize
bandwith by moving only needed contents.

Obviously, when the client is really tiny, like the blind readers are, or
doesn't support javascript, the server has to be able to translate by itself
and send it yet dressed webpages.

Well this is one of the feature I require.

But, in 5 years of (non exclusive) web development, I could not find such a
framework.


IMHO, it would be also a chance for Plan 9 itself to be a bit less
elitarian.
More complex and huge systems (like JEE or .NET) don't allow the role
separation (developer / graphic designer) I aim to. Nor the speed, the
security or the scalability.


Sadly, 'till now, they are just ideas.
