Interesting, it must be a stripped down version of Illustra, because the 
full version is quite expensive but looks quite nice.  NetObjects uses it 
as their publishing tool backend (www.netobjects.com) and Illustra has a 
nice "web blade" for doing HTML-ish template-based content generation.  

I've been talking with a couple of these folks in recent days, spreading 
the gospel of the Apache API :)  Though as soon as we get that NSAPI 
bridge module....
