In my opinion Cocoon will hit the main stream when the Cocoon building blocks are ready. At the moment people who are new to XSLT need to digest a LOT of info just to make out the fundamentals of Cocoon. Giving people the ability to start out with a minimal application with just a "Hello World" sample to get them going will make things a lot easier (I'm not talking about a minimized Cocoon like Chello). The block approach will make it possible to add functionality without the need to know the insides of Cocoon. That's when we will hit the mainstream: when people can use Cocoon as a "simple" tool to get results and not as a programming framework where all the tweaking and fine tuning needs to be done before getting results.
