Jay,

You are very correct.

You just need to add in the right stuff to cocoon.xconf.  From the "edit"
patch that i sent to this list a couple of days ago, just use the 
cocoon.xconf piece of the patch.  That will only get xsp going, not jsp.

I wonder about this also.  I can see plenty of reasons why it wouldn't be 
wanted in forrest-- but it is just so much fun.

I think any editing system (wiki editing+slide+forrest) would best be 
implemented with the flow engine and it is probably not included right now
for probably the same reasons as xsp.  It would be neat to see blocks in
forrest, or forrest as a block.
