        I'm not familiar enough either, but I still feel that we're
        reinventing the wheel with both Fortress and Merlin continuing as
        separate containers.
        
        I know there's been progress at unifying the common ground with the
        container/ and meta/ subprojects - but I would so much rather 1
        container to work on rather than having to choose between the 2 (as is
        currently happening on cocoon-dev).
        
        Berin, why don't we just make Fortress' MetaDataContainer extend
        from Merlin's DefaultContainer and have it provide Fortress style
        semantics ?
        
        That would allow us to take more advantage of Steven's foundation
        level work with Merlin, and would give us a fast and easy upgrade
        path for ECM ?
        
        Cheers,
