Regarding the structuring of the resulting documentation (as opposed to
the content) ... can you comment on that aspect?

Does Daisy have support for tagging (whether "folksonomy" or controlled
vocabularies of some sort)?

How might these tags integrate with the "core" concepts in xdocs, the
Forrest sitemap, etc?

I've been working recently on a website upgrade project which uses XML
Topic Maps to deal with these issues - the site was relaunched just last
week. Now I'm wondering if the Cocoon community might benefit from using
XTM. It looks like a classic application for topic maps. I think they
could help by providing a set of logical "hooks" to tag content with,
and tools for harvesting metadata, merging topics, querying etc.=20
