What I propose is that the block descriptor block.xml contains both a sitemap path (as it has today) and a component configuration path(s) (a new addition) both optional. Then a block with a component configuration path will create a root component manager where everything from the component configuration is exported. If there also is a sitemap path, the sitemap processor will use the root component manager as parent component manager. If there is a sitemap configuration path but no component configuration path the block will not export any components.

I prefer the described solution partly because a sitemap configuration IMO not make sense for component only blocks and partly because it provide a very smooth evolutionary path towards real blocks. The blocks can look like today, only a block.xml with paths to the current component configuration pat, main sitemap etc and a Manifest.mf is needed.

Ok, sounds good.
