What DTD's do you use for a plain site?
What Doctypes are people using for general information to be displayed
at HTML?
I'm doing a very simple site which will be mostly static HTML. The data
is basically intended for presentation only, so there isn't much of a
datatype I need to model, the only reason I'm going for cocoon is to
swap out look and feel easily.
So far my experience with Cocoon has been with data I could come up
with a logical XML dialect for. But for presentation orientated data I
find myself just using html, which I know I shouldn't.
Any suggestions? I'm about to check out DocBook, but is that maybe
overkill?
Thanks,
Justin

What about the Forrest documentation format?
You can find the DTD at
http://xml.apache.org/forrest/document-v11.dtdx.html
I'm using this doctype for the cocooncenter articles.
It is suited especially for technical documentation.

I've used simplified docbook - it's easy - much simpler than the full
docbook which is huge. But is XHTML really so bad?
