Examples include Cocoon, AxKit
Starts with a common input format, often XML
Applies transformations, often XSLT
Can generate multiple output formats, e.g. XHTML, 'HTML-one-file-per-section', PDF, WML, ...

Some systems support multiple origin formats, e.g. XML for documents, a database for more dynamic content.
Humans probably shouldn't have to author raw XML, so need an XML origination solution.
Multiple output formats froma single input is something of a holy grail, but it requires a 'rich' input.
