by clicking on the menu item "New" one receives a list
of doctypes for instance:

- DocBook
- XHTML
- Spreadsheet
- Wiki

depending on what the CMS has to offer and the client can handle

I am not sure, but that might be possible, but I guess the CMS
would have to deliver the specific CMS query by introspection,

I don't know yet ;-) it wouldn't hurt, but I am pretty
sure that there will more stuff pop up.

But you basically prove my point, people don't know and that's another 
reason
to create OSR-101

I am sure there is a common denominator or a set
