That's exactly how I feel. The only question is:
Is it good to have this alway available in the substitution map?
(as you said: you want it "occasionally") Or will an action do?
Votes please.
I will add this... one or the other way.
I was also wondering if we shouldn't have {0} as parameter as well.
In "awk" e.g. (as well as other regexpr matchers) this means
the whole string. Would be more consitent... anyway
This is what I propose as substitution parameters:
requestURI - the requested URI (without parameter) (this will of course make {0} obsolete)
requestQuery - the query parameter (including the "?") like "?test=bla&something=2"
so {requestURI}{requestQuery} will give always give the full URI + parameters
context - the servlet context (usually "/cocoon")
sitemapContext - the context change from a sitemap to a sub-sitemap (e.g. "sub" for the sub sitemap
example
Please feel free to add some more and
maybe one of you guys have better/shorter ideas for
the parameters?!

I'd prefer an action because I would support the "occasionally"
argument. It's probably not very expensive to create a couple of
objects in the root map. On the other hand every unecessary object
creation should be avoided.
+1 for action
Chris.
