I'm working on an implementation of the same idea for Apache Cocoon. I
used Christian Queinnec's paper and the paper above as the starting
point for the implementation.

The current implementation is using a modified version of the Rhino
JavaScript interpreter which supports continuations (courtesy of
Christopher Oliver). Support for SISC, a Scheme interpreter written in
Java, is in the works. You can check it out at:

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-cocoon2/src/scratchpad/schecoon/

The code is still work in progress, and there's no release of it yet.
