Is "sourceresolve" where the Apache XML Commons Resolver
is hooked up?

no, I was talking about the Excalibur Sourceresolve component.

I would be concerned if our base offering enabled
mis-use of net resources, e.g. processing an xml file
which declares a DTD, causes an extra network trip if
we don't have the xml entity resolver.

Resolving XML entities is important and we will definitly offer solutions for it in the future too.

Corona, Steven's and my proposal of a Cocoon reimplementation, is about doing things differently so that Cocoon becomes easily embeddable and reuseable from within as many environments as possible. We think that a "layered design" is the key to achive this goal. When you put all layers together, the result (= a web application framework) should be nearly[1] as powerful as that what we have today.

For that purpose Steven and I have also started to reimplement existing concepts instead of doing everything from the scratch. First, we believe that many of the existing concepts are good as they are and second, this makes it easier for others to chime in because if you see Corona as a black box, it should (more or less) provide the same results as 2.x.
