I believe that sources have strongly polluted the design of the cocoon sitemap by making generators obsolete
And generators have been mixing concerns since the beginning, by specifying both how to get something and how to transform it to xml.

They good sources are the one that you can think about putting in your browser address textbox: file: http: https: ftp: cocoon: everytime there is a src="" attribute you need to get the source. it's a transport mechanism, it indicates *how* you get those bits to you... it should not be doing anything more than this.
Correct. The problem is not with sources, but the abuse of sources that made them more than just "bit stream getters".
