Pattern wildcards meaning

[Daniel Fournier <df...@noos.fr>]

Hi everybody,

Samples provided with Cocoon dist. use path-like style to parameterize 
patterns, e.g.
<map:match pattern="*/*">
where, for instance, in sitemap administrator mind, 1st * is meaning "source 
#1" and 2nd * "source #2" (these wildcards beeing use to aggregate two 
sources).

Why not use a more verbose pattern like:
<map:match pattern="aggregate[source1=*][source2=*]">
using an XPath predicate-like style?

This way, you don't need to comment the pattern and everybody can immediatly 
understand it.

What are Cocoon developers and users thinking of this suggestion ?
