I haven't seen anyone comment on the dev and live components. This is what factories are for - so you can abstract implementation details like paths from your calling templates. I rteally haven't played with it, but a dependency injection engine like ColdSpring should allow you to do this kind of conditional metadata at runtime (someone with ColdSpring experience please correct me if I'm wrong!). If not, you do it yourself by creating an object factory and putting the conditional logic in there "if Devmode then ComponentBasePath = com.dev"

Why ? Not all of us have the luxury of a different dev and live server so I have... com.dev.wibble.fo.bar ...and... com.live.wibble.fo.bar ...for the two different code streams.
