Though, on a tangent, I'm wondering if we could achieve the same use
cases with just the existing URL-to-JCR-path mapping. For example,
instead of:

    .../path/to/document.html
    .../path/to/document.pdf
    .../path/to/document.json
    .../path/to/document.atom

We could do something like this:

    .../path/to/document
    .../pdf/path/to/document
    .../json/path/to/document
    .../atom/path/to/document

With actual /pdf, /json, and /atom nodes within the repository to
dispatch the desired processing or rendering functionality. The nice
thing about this approach is that we could more easily have customized
behaviour per subtree:

    .../path/pdf/to/document

In fact I'd even consider doing the same for selectors to simplify the
URL mapping process to a direct path walk.

BR,
