Lars -- We have been invoived with both Cocoon and Lenya for almost two years. In addition to the well-understood advantages of the core architecture and its support for content transformation, I would make sure to emphasize Cocoon's use as an application framework. We have built a number of applications that use Cocoon to implement the core model-view-controller mechanism in a tiered architecture. For example, we are currently working on an ecommerce/travel web site that uses Cocoon. In this approach, Cocoon is really an alternative to something like the Jakarta Struts framework.
Perhaps this is old news to you, but I see many articles or presentations on Cocoon that only describe its advantages for content transformation. I hope that this helps.
