Hi Adam. SMDL is a great idea. But you might want to take a look at the IBM
XML Parser for Java (xml4j), which comes with a sample app, SiteOutliner,
which does approximately what you're talking about. The parser scans a site
and creates a CDF file which can then be viewed either with their own
CDFViewer or with MSIE.

xml4j is available at:

Good luck. Sounds like a good project, no matter which way you go with it.
