I haven't used DWMX in production yet, but most of the JS and server-side
code that it writes is very bulky and can be slimmed down considerably if
you know what you're doing.  Just like you can reduce the extra amount of
HTML it writes if you know how to edit it.

DWMX doesn't require this anymore.  It can write to XHTML.  You just have to
select a checkbox.  The only problem with it is that it still puts the <?xml
..> declaration at the top of the page.
