Oh, I'm sure you will.

Minor? you are too kind. Cocoon error reporting is close to drive even
the most expert cocoon developer nuts (been there, done that), but on
the other side of things, you can't polish something until is finished.
Ok, cocoon will never be finished (will move to bleeding edge into
osbolescence directly... around 2130 :) but at least, we are reaching a
stable operation that allows us to do things like error reporting,
/WEB-INF friendlyness, performance tuning, memory footprint tuning,
documentation autogeneration and so on.
The trend is clear: there is lots of meet around the Cocoon 2.0 bone and
users will take time to digest it. During this time, we'll polish Cocoon
so that it will shine. My experience tells me that with the kind of
healthy community we have, this will just take a few months to happen.

Yes, same here. I think the TreeProcessor could give a hand here: the
compiled pages are normally a pain for error reporting.

How about writing what you want, I'm sure people would love to see it.
