we need to carefully consider this. if we open the floodgates to full
extensibility, we may end up with a situation where the sitetree is
becoming unwieldy with dozens of attributes (sort of a central database)
i remember permathreads about this on the forrest list, not sure really
what a good balance would be

Why is this bad? Isn't that what hierarchical configuration XML is for?

You are right. We had a discussion in lenya lists, too.
But, I have the requirement to hide nodes of the sitetree i.e. from
menu. Thus I have to "mark" sitetree nodes for exclusion.
How can I achieve the exclusion? My first idea was to "markup" things in
the sitetree.
We need a kind of "user exit".
