We have taken a similar approach using Magnolia to provide a back-end CMS
that feeds XMLized fragments (from the Public interface) to an exposed
Cocoon front-end. (<http://www.utmem.edu/Facsenate>). This approach enforces
a separation of content from presentation, provides a security layer, and
Cocoon provided the right fit for some of the data we serve.

Just my opinion, but I am leaning away from such tight integration because
it is harder to maintain when updates and bug-fixes arrive frequently.
