Haven't followed that discussion but I've created a plugin that manages
configuration by reading (or to use cocoon term: generating) xml files from
{project:doc}/yourPluginConfigFile.xml

Could you post (on the dev list - I've set the reply-to field on this 
mail) a few details about how your system works and what kind of 
facilities it offers. At present we don't have anything working and your 
implementation might well be the start of something concrete.
