I propose that we add the passthrough='true|[false]' attribute to make it possible for mounts not to necessarily halt processing if no match is found.
The proposed element for it is the <mount> node, so that the base sitemap has the say on whether it wants to make the subsitemap completely responsible or not of the subsequent processing. The default behavior would be identical to what we have now.
+1, but the "passthrough" name doesn't seem clear to me.
Other names that come to mind, but aren't satisfying either are "come-back", "delegate", "allow-return"...
How about "final".
To much like Java's final.
maybe return-on-fail or return-no-match
