C-Scene uses Stylebook, a tool developed by the Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).

Stylebook is a way to convert a set of XML files into a proper web site with consistent navigation and layout. The XML data is converted to HTML files in a batch process that also generates index pages and other data. The resulting set of HTML pages is independant of the XML source and can be mirrored easily.

Internet Explorer tries to be way too clever about displaying certain document types and ignores both the extension .txt and the MIME type text/plain.

The cure is to, within the error page, open the context menu and click on "View source". Alas, the XML source!
