If that's the case, explore using the Factory pattern. The Handler class
then becomes a base class, and any time you need to create a new Handler,
you call the Factory to get the new instance (which is an extension of
Handler).
That would require a one time change to the SitemapManager--but after that,
it is fairly trivial to change the implementation of the Handler. It still
isn't a Component, but it follows the same pattern that the ComponentHandler
stuff works on in Excalibur.
