Michael may appreciate my admission of acceptance earlier today in a
tweet.
Note that there is a HUGE amount of work to turn a concept into a
production-level service--what we see here is *feasibility*. Kristof
can make it happen but his interest survey shows that he is
realistic about the anticipated effort and the level of sponsorship
he'll need.
Here is my more serious concern: The kinds of new Drupal
capabilities that Kristof demoed are extremely powerful for anyone
needing to develop modular information for adaptive content
delivery, but in the absence of a data definition layer (like a DTD
or Schema in even a simple form), there is no prayer of a chance for
content interoperability--The Web According to Drupal, as I see it
in Kristof's demo, has the potential to turn into a Tower of Babel
as it were.
Lightweight DITA will offer such a schema, but will it be
acceptable? I suspect the Web will need to invent something with
much looser validation within those editable chunks.

van Tomme, who has a Drupal development company and is a DITA
enthusiast, has come up with an idea for a starter DITA CCMS based
on Drupal. This CCMS could use a Lightweight DITA mapping, so I am
throwing it on the idea pile for your perusal.
