What do you mean by "automagically" ? It's already automagic, since 
SAXConnectors are only used when they're declared in cocoon.xconf.

Also, I see a danger with Profiling*EventPipeline, because the "*" means 
combination with the various pipeline implementations : non-caching, 
caching, chache-point (no new from this one ?), etc.

I once (long ago) thought of a transformer that would check XML 
well-formedness of SAX events (for debugging custom transformers) and I 
now realize it would be a very good candidate for SAXConnector.

My opinion is to keep them (so option (c) of original post) and 
advertise them more, as they can be of real help during development, 
without having to tweak the sitemap.

While we're at development-time features : what about adding some 
location information when components are added to a pipeline ? 
TreeProcessor nodes know their location, and this may allow the display 
of more meaningfull information when an error arises during pipeline 
processing (e.g. "NullPointerException in transform at sitemap.xmap:341")

Thoughts ?
