Thank you for reply. Well, I can add ( pre-define) URLS/MAPS to conroller in
design  time for some standard pages but it works unless they want to add  a
new custom page with some URL/MAP which is not in controller. And this is
where I need programmatically add the entry in runtime. Because, the content
admin person will just get lost in raw xml editing and quit possible can
make syntax error there etc.

On my opinion this would be a useful thing to automate in the terms of
user-friendly content management.
