Sitemap/subsitemap

Hi,
I need to understand the capabilities and limitations of sitemap/subsitemap.
Is there any documentation describing the sitemap/subsitemap design,
assumptions and  usage? If it does not exist - is it possible to ask the
person who designed that behavior to put together the doc similar to "docs:
draft on matchers and selectors" just to have all the ideas, capabilities
and limitations in one place? ( I know that I can figure out it from the
code - but it is time consuming and not always clearly showing all
capabilities and limitations).

The second question is:
we have Generators which - generate
	  Transformers which - transform
        Matchers 	which - match
	  Selectors which - select
	  Actions which - act
	  ??      which - aggregate

It is a pattern that the components used in the system are "declared" in the
sitemap before they are used as a part of pipeline definition.
Why the aggregation is not following the pattern? 
Thanks,
Kinga

Ok ok, you got me ... ;-(

It was just a try.

But to raise this discussion again.... ;-)
I think it's not the DTD/Schema which is enough, but the own partial
pipeline where I can use any sitemap components I like. So using
for example transformers or actions inside the error handler
allows me to do the same I could with my own custom ErrorGenerator.
But I still think an own ErrorGenerator is the easier approach.

PS: Perhaps we should continue this discussion when we start talking
    about Cocoon 3!

Are you trying to give a hint to us ;) (componentizing error-handlers?)
Isn't a standard DTD/Schema enought for errors?

Not to forget the hard coded ErrorGenerator...

Yes, it is true for components but aggregation is not componentized.
You will have noticed that there isn't a Mounter as well :)
