This snippet from a mail on Cocoon Dev will be interesting to those wishing to improve our sitemap documentation.

it's not as interesting as I thought at the beginning because current
samples are code only whereas we think code-illustrated documentation
is what we need most...

Sure. Note that I just applied a patch to both the 2.1 branch and the
trunk, which allows you to add annotation to sitemaps, like:

<map:match pattern="news.pdf">
   <n:explain>Get news in XML from server</n:explain>
   <map:generate src="http://newsserver/somestuff.xml"/>

   <n:explain>Convert to xsl-fo</n:explain>
   <map:transform src="news-to-fo.xsl"/>

   <n:explain>
     And let <a href="http://xml.apache.org/fop";>FOP</a> generate PDF
   </n:explain>
   <map:serialize type="fo2pdf"/>
</map:match>

This could be very useful to create self-describing samples.

There's also stuff in the tour block that could be reused to extract
code excerpts from sitemaps, xml and text files.
