In the application I am thinking of, the two concepts sort of merge ...
The web site in question is held as a custom ModesXML data file, so you
can add and update web pages in exactly the same way that you add and
update object records. An XSLT transform is used to generate the HTML
pages from the (largely) XHTML web page records, allowing house style to
be applied consistently, navigation aids generated automatically, and
live object data to be included where required.
Some pages support collections search, and these pages can merge content
from both the main catalogue file, and the "blog" file which is added to
whenever a user submits a comment.
