This means we have to convice them to change from URL to SourceHandler to have a smooth integration into Cocoon, right? > In addition Cocoon uses some interfaces (in the org.apache.cocoon.xml > package), > like XMLConsumer, XMLizable etc which are right placed in Avalon, too. +1, there package/classes/interfaces will interfer with the one above because an XSLTProcessor is an XMLConsumer.
