Is it currently possible to write a sitemap without the <map:components> element alltogether and let it inherit everything from the above sitemap?
Yes. This is taken care of in SitemapLanguage.java
If not, why?
If so, there are issues with this?
Issues ? No that I'm aware of...

is error-handling inherited?
Yes : if a <map:pipeline> has no <map:handle-errors>, exceptions are propagated to the parent sitemap, and so on up to CocoonServlet.

if so, are there any drawbacks?
Drawbacks ? No that I'm aware of... ;-)
Mmmh... you're in "telegraphic mode", today ;-P
