Please refrain from insulting the developer's intelligence :)
Usually these bugs arise due to a double transformation of XML (eg
project.xml -> index.xml -> index.html), and they are often in Jelly rather
than Maven.

For the specific test cases for something not working, file a bug in JIRA.

I've tried to help this in RC3, but if you have a specific example then file
a bug and I'd be happy to look into it.

This is on the 1.0 TODO list which is about to start. I plan a documentation
overhaul.

This is the way inheritence is specified for POMv3. Again, if this goes into
JIRA we might look at it for Maven 1.1.

Yes, I know. Too many cvs junkies. I have been meaning to file a JIRA issue
to get this fixed, but perhaps you could do that along with the others. It's
a changelog plugin issue.

You're welcome.
