we have a number of resource handlers in the global sitemap that i'm not sure we
need:

* does anyone use the "resources/shared" mechanism? i don't see how it's
generally useful, and publications can easily implement it in their own sitemaps.
* is static resource handling via the global sitemap still a good idea? or had
we better provide a utility sitemap that can be mounted by publication sitemaps
if needed?
* is the "inherited" mechanism really needed? i can see it might be interesting
to access template resources via a browser, but it brings us yet another magic
file infix (".inherited."). if it's worth keeping, let's document it really well.

my motivations for these suggestions are:

* cleaning of the global URL space
* simplification of the global sitemap (it should be self-documenting and really
obvious)
* better code reuse, elimination of duplicated code

imnsho, our sitemaps are lenya's *PRIMARY* user interface to those who deploy
it, and account for most of lenya's scary learning curve, so they should be
really really slick.
