OK, looks good...

I'm using a sitemap that invokes a Velocity generator that puts <cinclude>
tags into the XHTML then transforming via cinlude and it works quite well.

But (there's always one! :)

I want to pass parameters to the pipelines I'm cincluding.
If i <cinclude:include src="cocoon:/vm/menu.vm?area=/about"> I'd like to get
the menu for the /about area (the bean in the velocity pipeline page knows
what I mean)
However the cocoon:/vm/menu.vm doesn't seem to be able to access the
"area=/about" parameter.
Certainly it still accesses the main 'RequestWrapper' object (good, at least
I can see that) is there a similar object that has the parameters for the
Source cocoon:... URI?
(In which case could/should the VelocityGenerator detect it's invoked
'internally' and pass an appropriate something wapper?)

I think maybe cocoon.components.source.SiteMapSource builds something
suitable (this.uri)?
