Then it will have to be significantly extended. Currently it does not 
indicate in coherent (searchable) way what cocoon component or sitemap 
component or cocoon block this change relates to. And you need better 
granularity then simply "core", "cforms block"; you need something which 
goes at least to the level of package (and author tags are on the class 
level).
