This is not exactly what we meant by content aggregation. We are not
looking for aggregating file (src=) because you can do that with
XInclude as well. We are looking for aggregating cocoon URI directly!
Look at the mail "[RT] Content aggregation" from Oct. 3rd from Stefano
Mazzocchi.

You're right. And we are again at the point where it would be very
usefull to have the src attribute of a generator not only handles file
but also URLs which will accesses the sitemaps internally processed URIs
directly as a ContentHandler. Do you agree?

welllllll.... that's not entirely the same thing. with viktors' approach,
you control the includes in the sitemap, whereas with xincludes, you
control the includes in the xml content. i can see how both approaches
might be appealing in different situations.
