What happens is that the ComponentManager will try to look up a Component
itself. If it can't find it, it checks it's parent. If the parent can't
find it, the original component manager will attempt to build it. This
happens for each ComponentManager in the chain.
The Sitemaps do need their own ComponentManager due to security constraints,
and the fact that the ExcaliburComponentManager is Initializable now. That
means that once it is initialized, it cannot add new components.

This was true. But this is also before Excalibur made that design change.
You will find that the design change is also what enables the load on startup
of ThreadSafe Components (i.e. getting Daemon Components to run when the
ComponentManager is initialized.
