I agree, from a maintenance perspective.  You can keep your roles
separate in a user.roles file, referenced from the attribute <coocon
user-roles="path/to/user.roles"> but there is no standard way I know of
to keep your configurations separate, even if you are just "extending"
cocoon.

I also was hoping to use the ParentCM so that Cocoon would be "embedded"
by a parent Avalon application.  

So far you're talking about Cocoon managing its parent CM.  Is there a
way for Coccon to grab a reference to an existing PCM from another
application?  JNDI?  A singleton?  Any other approaches?

Does anyone have any info on the attempt to make an Avalon block out of
Cocoon?
