I thought of Cocoon as an XML/XSLT processing environment, not XML

Cocoon developers plug it in to Cocoon in form of transformer or generator

nicely use Cocoon's component and make that tool cooperate with other stuff.
Currently, I've to go and set up sitemaps. Why not to allow me 'directly'
invoke any component I want? It'll be more interactive. Easier to experiemnt
with and, perhaps, to learn XML.

Ok, I got it ! What you're looking for is a web-based sitemap editor ! Have you looked at sitebuilder in scratchpad/webapp ? This may be what you want.

However, your proposal mixed two very different concerns : the application developper and the application user.

Assembling pipelines through the web - or any other interactive GUI - is an application developper concern. But it is not an application user concern, and the user *should not* be able to tweak pipelines on the site it is visiting. This would be like giving the keys of your house to anyone walking in the street and say : "get in, it's open : look any datasource you like, update anything you want" !
