If I put the samples here, the link would still be broken in the webapp,
and moreover the block would depend for the samples on the sample webapp
as a container... hmmm, I don't like it much...
I don't see it as a big problem to keep the samples in webapp for the
moment, when we get right the block mounting with the block
pseudo-protocol we mught move them in the blocks... no?

I had the same feeling :-)
I would put all configuration in xml-cocoon2/src/blocks/fop/ directly, no?

:-)
Please be patient a bit more.
As soon as I commit the first working block, we can split our workload :-)
