Did I understand right, that you propose to use selectors inside of action
sets? (Sorry, English is not my native language). Currently, it's possible
to use a selector to choose the action-set to be used, but is it possible to
use a selector inside of an action set? How can it look like?

For conditional actions it'd be fine to have something like named templated
in XSL, e.g.:
<map:action-set name="action-set-foo">
<map:parameter name="user-role">guest</map:parameter>
<map:act type="MyAction" />
<map:if test="user-role = 'admin'">
<map:act type="CoolAction" />
</map:if>
</map:action-set>
So, you can use this action set with runtime params in any place you need
it.
What about this?
