Well, the problem is complicated, but I think we can start with simple things, without worrying about solving the whole problem initially. We can assume that everybody runs on the same common version of Cocoon, and we have a single Cocoon version running on a single Tomcat instance. This should satisfy the simple needs, and we can seek solutions for the more complex problems as we move along. The Web ring is the other option which we should consider, and fortunately that's something we can start running right away.
