Have you looked at greenstone digital library already (www.greenstone.org)? It does all the things you mention above. Well, maybe not "standards compliant," although I'm not sure what that means in this particular context. I've used it to create CD ROM applications before and it worked very well. I haven't been following the discussion closely, so apologies if you've already considered this and rejected it.
