This looks odd, but think os using two generators of the same type used
on different source or used on the same source but with different
parameters; aggregator's params allow you to make output looking like
directly from generator.

Couldn't open the url nor find the result (big tree thread), but after
reading the first paragraph of the Stefano's proposal I think VPC could
resolve problems I mentioned.

Virtual Pipeline Componets + aggregator taking any generator
would made aggregating resources problem nonexisted.


<BTW about="map:resource">

map:resource really looks like map:match with literal pattern (no
special chars) that ends with xml serializer and is putted in internal
pipeline, ie. resource looks like pipeline part and AFAIR docs doesn't
say it's not.

Considering this, map:resource looks like component intended for sitemap
modularisation, and internal pipelines looks like workaround for use
with aggregators.

IMO simplest workaround for this would be special protocol for
map:resources (probably outdated by virtual pipeline components).

</BTW>

I think that's all.
