But if the large amount of pipelines bothering you is mainly map:read with 
different mime-types, you should rather look at your servlet containers 
configuration.  In Tomcat, for example, you define standard mappings in web.xml:
 <mime-mapping>
   <extension>png</extension>
   <mime-type>image/png</mime-type>
 </mime-mapping>
Then maybe a lot of trivial pipeline can be replaced by a catch-all at the end:
 <map:match pattern='**.*'>
   <map:select type='resource-exists'>
     <map:when test='{1}.{2}'>
       <map:read src="{1}.{2}"/>
     </map:when>
     <map:otherwise>
       <map:read src="../Other/{1}.{2}"/>
     </map:otherwise>
   </map:select>
 </map:match>
HTH, Alfred.
 

Thanks, this is very good info.  I didn't know that the mime-type 
attribute of map:read
was optional.  I just tested it, and it works great.  The documentation 
on the default
reader says "it is important to specify the mime-type attribute ...", 
giving the impression
that it is required.  Perhaps this should be in the documentation?  How 
could I try
to get this added?
