sxml

I can't find this on Google (so maybe it doesn't exist), but I basically'd like to install something on a web server such that I can run a site on Scheme, PHP is starting to annoy me, I want to get rid off it, what I want is:

Run Scheme sources towards UTF-8 output (duh)
Support for SXML, SXLT et cetera, I plan to compose the damned thing in SXML and -> to normal representation on at the end.
Ability to read other files from the server, write them, set permissions et cetera
Also some things to for instance determine the filesize of files, height of images, mime-types and all that mumbo-jumbo
(optionally) connect to a database, but for what I want to do storing the entire database in S-expressions itself is feasible enough

I don't need any fancy libraries and other things that come with it like CMS'es and what-not, except the support for SXML but I'm sure I can just find a lib for that anyway that I can load.

Scheme: Detecting duplicate elements in a list

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
Does R6RS or Chez Scheme v7.9.4 have a library function to check if a list contains duplicate elements? Alternatively, do either have any built in functionality for sets (which dis-allow duplicate elements)? So far, I've only been able to find an example here. The problem with that is that it doesn't… >>> More

Traversing Scheme function as a list

Isn't it possible to treat functions in Scheme as any other list? Basically, what I want do to is something like this: (define (foo) "hello") (cdr foo) ; or similar, should return the list ((foo) "hello") I've found a similar discussion about this, and I feel a bit disappointed if this is not… >>> More
