....Sure, but module writers care about what's under the hood. And hardcoded HTML means hard-to-write modules, and therefore no fancy features !...
Totally agreed.
...Mmmh... you're IMO both right and wrong. Right, because Java hosting is microscopic compared to PHP hosting. But wrong since Cocoon is used (from my personal experience) on many intranets, and having such features builtin (as samples you can reuse) can certainly help Cocoon to have a wider usage range, instead of installing a PHP Nuke on the httpd that proxies Cocoon...
Ok, I see your point. The "light CMS" demo that you were talking about should then clearly be targeted as such, and not try (for now) to compete with PHPNuke and its already-too-numerous clones on the "plug and play" aspects.
