Hi,
Speaking from the perspective of a Cocoon user with a probably larger than normal install base, I'd be _very_ scared about upgrading to a new version of Cocoon if my old sitemaps don't work. I realise that the work you're doing is research focused, but I still think a bit of pragmatism is in order. IMHO the new version of Cocoon should at the very least allow me to use my existing sitemaps as is. I guess if you'd really like a Groovy based sitemap declaration, then existing XML sitemaps could be pre-parsed into Groovy?
Ugo and I were just talking about this on IRC. There's pretty much a 1-1 correspondence with the sitemap and the proposed syntax. We were bouncing ideas off each other and he came up with the idea of doing
Sitemap XML -> XSLT -> Groovy Syntax
That way we'd be able to maintain backwards compatibility as well.
