Thanks Vadim, Up until now I've happily gotten away with merging changes to the src/webapp/cocoon.xconf into my own when updating my Cocoon version - it's clear that I should have used the build version of the document which isn't the same thing any more!
This reminds me - how about having a plaintext "WHATSNEW" file at the CVS root to which everyone appends changes (in reverse date order - with clearly titled break lines for releases), listing any changes to Cocoon that impact on the configuration, plus anything else that may be of general interest like 'implemented XXX which speeds up Cocoon by a factor of 100'. It would be *extremely* helpful if someone maintaining a Cocoon configuration could work on the basis that an update of Cocoon would work with their existing .xconf and .xmap files unless explicitly indicated in the WHATSNEW file. I don't think this would be hard to maintain, and it would make it easier to construct release notes to encourage interest in the latest and greatest releases. The Ant project does it quite well.
