I think we are agreeing (?) on the issue of proprietary : in
essence, any code that you do not write yourself is 'proprietary'
in some way - it "belongs" to someone. I agree that OS can

end, the XSPs are converted to Java - and at least one of the
Cocoon books I read suggests this as a perfectly vaild way
to start off doing your own coding for custom generators.
So... I am not sure what you mean by "loss of portab

Well yes, but there's a big difference
between coding your business logic in a proprietary non-portable solution and
configuring a pipeline. By staying away from XSP I can switch
