Hi Lenya devs,
this is a serious and quite urgent issue because it blocks the RC.
It would be great if we could get more opinions.

IIUC Thorsten prefers the global proxy URL, Michi and I prefer the
reserved URL space.
The problem with reserved url spaces for modules is that it is highly
confusing. Why should we prefix global modules with pubs/area? That does
not make sense for me. Publication specific modules yes, global no.
In principle I agree, but this is one of the rare occasions where
I'd prefer to handle the issue pragmatically. For my personal use
of Lenya it is very important that the URL space of a website is
self-contained, preferrably without extra configuration or
implementation.
Of course I could add hooks to my publication which map the module
URL spaces into the publication URL space. And I'm quite confident
that many people will do this, ending up with a lot of boilerplate
code.
i agree that thorsten's suggestion is more awkward to use. i prefer it
nonetheless. it requires some extra configuration work, but it gets the
job done without implicit semantics... clogging the publication URI
space is a serious decision, and if we make it now, we make it for some
time to come. i'd like to rethink both context prefix and proxy url
handling for the next major lenya release anyway - that's why i'd prefer
a slightly awkward solution without subtle implications over a pragmatic
one that leaves us with cruft in the future...
lenya is a multi-publication cms, hence it is quite natural that it
should have global resources.
a self-contained URI space for publications is a good argument, but you
can easily achieve that in your publication sitemap - i.e. you add
boilerplate code when you need something special, which is ok (adding
boilerplate code for standard scenarios is not imho).
regards,
jörn
