BTW, could you tell about how you use the Cocoon Portal? ("... in ways that were probably never thought of by its authors ..." makes me curious ;-)

Now we have an application that can have varying numbers of tabs based upon what MBeans are available with data to report and the user's authority to view the data. Since the portal definition and layout files are all retrieved via a pipeline it is easy to dynamically generate the XML configuration specifically for the user when they log in. This site doesn't look at all like a portal. It has navigation across the top and most of the pages contain two portlets. The left one contains a list of items that, when an item is selected, cause the data associated with that item to appear in the portlet on the right side of the screen.
Description sounds a lot like default Forrest skin: tabs on top, tab-specific navigation links on the left, content on the right...
