- By default a web server will serve up any file that can be found under its
Document Root. Therefore if it serves a web page that references additional
images, applets or other supporting media then, as long as those files can be
found under the Document Root, it'll serve them when the browser requests them.

- However Cocoon's default mode of operation is different: unless there is an
explicit [Pipeline] that instructs Cocoon on how to respond to a particular
request and serve the required file, then there will be a 'resource not found'
error.

- So, in short, a web server 'knows' how to serve files automatically. Cocoon
doesn't, so you have to map the request to the file system using a [Pipeline].

- Note: the [Reader] method won't work for a static HTML document. You will
still need to use a [Generator] and a [Serializer].

- Note: I've used this method to serve static HTML files, like this;
- {{{
- <map:match pattern="">
- <map:read src="html/index.html" mime-type="text/html"/>
- </map:match>
- }}}
