Speaking of which, I had intention to make a clear separation
between pipeline assembly stage - which is currently done by tree
processor - and pipeline execution stage - which is currently
sometimes is done from within tree processor itself, in case of
'external pipelines', or out of tree processor for 'internal
pipelines'. I have done a prototype work - and had it working after
~ 1 day effort.
When we had the whole 'cocoon is dead - let's rewrite it' discussion
that was exactly one of the thing I was thinking of. To some extend
the sitemap should be just a factory creating pipelines. The
pipelines should be a completely separate stand alone API that is
just used by the sitemap.
