IMO it would be best to discuss your needs based on what Cocoon 3
already offers (see org.apache.cocoon.pipeline.CachingPipeline) and what
exactly you are missing. And additionally (or alternatively if you
prefer) you could also provide us with a concrete example. I think that
would make many things much clearer.
