-0 : I'd like to start by moving the compiled engine out of the 
"sitemap" package so that this package contains only 
implementation-independent classes and interfaces.

The treeprocessor will naturally be stressed as it is the default engine 
(this has already begun and a number of bugs have been fixed).

About Schecoon, once more, the dependency that currently exists on the 
treeprocessor internals will disappear very soon : its link with the 
sitemap will go through the single Redirector interface. Yes, it comes 
with new treeprocessor nodes definitions, but this is just some glue 
code that could easily exist also for another sitemap engine.

+1. I've seen that Carsten started to refactor some of the sunShine 
internals into the main trunk. This is good, as other applications will 
be able to grow on that stuff.

+1. We should distinguish in scratchpad what belongs to the main source 
trunk, and what are advanced examples. This goes in favor of the 
refactoring of samples that is underway : having all examples in the 
main webapp sitemap frightens newbies (this sitemap is the biggest one 
I've ever seen), and segmentation in subsitemap will allow users to 
learn in progressive steps and concentrate on particular features 
without having to dig through dozens of mixed examples.

Hey, did you forget Cocoon blocks ?
