I absolutely agree. You not only benefit from caching, converting,
multiple output and sitemap, but you can also mix static (XML pages) and

through Cocoon. That why I wanted to know if anyone ever tried to use
the Cocoon that way.

In fact, yes there is a ServletGenerator class, but it is not documented
at all... Anyone tried to use it?
