Didier replies:
Have you tried it? Have you tried to send an HTTP GET to an Apache server
with this kind of request:

GET /myfolder/mydoc.xml
host: www.mydomain.com
accept: text/svg

Have you tried it in both cases:
a) if a document mydoc.svg is stored in the same directory as mydoc.xml
b) in a directory containing only mydoc.xml and a stylesheet associated to
it to transform the document in svg.

Can cocoon do that on the basis of the "accept" header?

Didier replies:
You think so? why? Maybe I want to use SVG for a particular layout like a
two column composition. Maybe I want HTML for less sophisticated browsers
and SVG for more sophisticated browsers in terms of layout capabilities.
Maybe I am using an XML structure having more semantic elements than XHTML
and that I am using HTML and SVG as rendering languages.
