If it doesn't resolve to to the root of the servlet context, then the
protocol
shouldn't be called "context". By making things sitemap relative, you
are
diluting the concepts of the Servlet spec. You are also increasing (IMO
unnecessarily) the learning time required to understand Cocoon.
The "context" protocol _should_ be relative to the servlet _Context_.
Any other
approach requires a different protocol name. I am not saying that
sitemap relative
is not a valid approach--I am saying that "context" is not a valid name
for that
approach.
