+1 for both. Also, people on user list expressed interest in having option to download Cocoon bundled with servlet engine, say, Tomcat 4, so you need only to download it and launch it out of the box. I do understand that Cocoon is extremely simple to install (especially on TC4), but we had lots of emails from users being unable to do so (IIRC there were some classpath configuration problems).
