CMS screens concept

Hi Lenya developers,

which concept would you prefer for the CMS screen layout?
(CMS screens are the publication-independent user interface
pages of Lenya)

(1) plain XHTML, style is done with CSS only

     + no doctype definitions needed
     + very flexible
     - least standardized

(2) a page template as some pages already use it:

     <page:page>
       <page:title>Publish</page:title>
       <page:body>
         <!-- put your XHTML code here -->
       </page:body>
     </page:page>

     + page markup kept simple
     + default header / footer can easily be inserted

     I think I prefer this one. Maybe we can define specific
     tags for reusable page components.

(3) dedicated CMS page markup

     - markup must be defined

... (other solutions)

What do you think?

Andreas

It sounds like a reasonable trade-off between standardization and 
flexibility/simplicity.
