Cool!
I've assigned the patch to myself and posted a comment on Ugo's suggestion.
Regarding the caching of sources, it is definitely needed. Maybe XSP
processing part will provide some hints on how to implement it correctly in
Cocoon's way.

I'd change it to:
<attributes>
<attribute name="/forrestconf/skin">forrest-site</attribute>
<attribute name="/forrestconf/base-url">/forrest</attribute>
</attributes>
- this will be in accordance with the InputModule interface.
