Just to make things clear: I don't _really_ mind changing the name.

One would only declare stuff relevant to the application. This is
mostlikely a different person than the one caring about cocoon.xconf.

And another clarification: I don't _really_ mind declaring them in
sitemap.

And a third one: I didn't intent to blame anyone for not noticing
earlier. I just wondered why it draws so much attention now.
And yes, I hope to find some spare time during the week end and come
up with a new "glue" module like the one we discussed and agreed
on. In addition, I will change the interface to return an Iterator
instead of an Enumeration. Provided I find the time.
Oh, I almost don't dare to suggest it: but what if a module could gain
access to the sitemap variable stack? a) it could provide easy XPath
access to all vars and b) could provide any naming scheme desired.
Chris.
