Sun's 'new' Brazil

["Stevenson, Chris (SSABSA)" <ch...@ssabsa.sa.gov.au>]

Sun have posted a description of their sunlabs 
technology, under the provocative banner:

BRAZIL PROJECT: THE FUTURE OF WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT 

http://java.sun.com/features/2000/08/brazil.html

Documentation (nice use of JavaDoc)
http://www.sun.com/research/brazil/api/

(Biased) Executive Summary:

- Like cocoon2, but uses the terminology 'Handler'
instead of Generator/Filter/Serializer

- Extensive use of properties to do what cocoon does
using XSL and XML based Filters

- Uses properties instead of XML sitemap configuration 
(Sitemap looks incredibly elegant by comparison)

It seems if nothing else worth mining for Cocoon 2 
ideas.
