Hi, I suggest a new parameter for map:mount that specifies the context of the sitemap, i.e. the URL against which all relative URLs are resolved. Normally, this is the sitemap's own URL, but there are cases where specifying a different URL makes things easier.
One is the use of generated sitemaps (see excerpt from a root sitemap below). Here the sub sitemaps are generated from a simple XML file and mounted with the cocoon:// protocol. With this, the URLs in the sitemap for "somepath/" are resolved relative to "cocoon://somepath/", but it would be nice to still have them resolved relative to "somepath/", since this is were most files used in the sitemap will be. I therefor suggest a new attribute "context" for "map:mount" that specifies the sitemap context. I will gladly supply a small patch which does this. Btw: This example is theoretical, as mounting sitemaps with the "cocon://" protocol plunges Cocoon into endless recursion, at least with the example specified below, see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=111140628621975&w=2 . This problem would also be solved.
