[Caml-list] Dynamic HTML: DTD validation with phantom types

[Caml-list] Dynamic HTML: DTD validation with phantom types

[Thorsten Ohl]

The source code and a trivial example are currently the only
documentation, but some people might find

   http://theorie.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~ohl/xhtml/

useful anyway.  In short, it is a translation of most XHTML 1.1
modules into a set of phantom types that allow the O'Caml typechecker
to validate dynamically generated HTML pages.

This is nothing spectacular, but might inspire somebody to create
_really_ cool hacks:

   1) Since I just did a straightforward manual translation of the
      DTD, an automatic translator is possible.

   2) Camlp4 hacks could be very neat ...

   3) ... perhaps including even a DTD parser!

Enjoy,
-Thorsten
