What are you going to use to display the XHTML?

I'm not sure what the latest big idea here is, as all the technology
we're talking about is quite old, relatively speaking. I don't see an
overcomplication at all, except in maybe trying to get XHTML to work
within a pure Java application without a Java display browser, which
JavaHelp and OracleHelp come standard with.
