-Cocoon is a servlet that allows you to separate web development in three
-different layers: content, style and logic.
+Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the
+concepts of separation of concerns and component-based web development.
-Cocoon does not aim to simplify the creation of web content: in fact, it
-is harder to create XML/XSL content than it is to use HTML from the
-beginning. The advantages come on the long run, on site management, update
-and refining.
+Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of 'component
+pipelines', each component on the pipeline specializing on a
+particular operation. This makes it possible to use a Lego(tm)-like
+approach in building web solutions, hooking together components
+into pipelines without any required programming.

+Cocoon is "web glue for your web application development needs".
+It is a glue that keeps concerns separate and allows parallel
+evolution of all aspects of a web application, improving development
+pace and reducing the chance of conflicts.
