I have no idea what kind of server they are using, but they've been
serving files ending in .xml for a while now (note that they are not
actually serving xml or xhtml even).

However, Didier, I had breakfast with you last Sunday - how can you not
know about AxKit! Its a perfect architecture for a news type site, where
you don't actually have any dynamic content on each page - its all static
(albeit regularly updated). Actually your Ads are dynamic, but we can take
care of that with a trivial output filter. AxKit will run at about 60-80%
of the speed of a raw Apache server, so with the right setup you can serve
many millions of page views a day from it. And its not offline
transformation. Its just cached.

(sorry if this sounds a bit like a plug, but at least I'm not selling
anything, unless you want tech support or consultation)
