Although it's not as full-featured as the solution you are looking for, one
writer in Toronto has implemented an XML-based single-sourcing solution and
written an article about it. Read the article "X Marks the Spot" by Michael
Skeet on my web site at
http://www.soltys.ca/techcomm/articles/X_Marks_the_Spot.htm or
http://members.home.net/ksoltys/techcomm/articles/X_Marks_the_Spot.htm (the
soltys.ca site seems to be unavailable right now - I have a funny feeling my
web hosting service may have been hit by the Code Red worm ....)
