Thanks a lot for this very nice presentation that will certainly help a 
lot of people !

I'm wondering (this is related to Cocoon and not to JS) if making the 
Environment available to the flow is a good thing. The Environment is 
private to the pipeline machinery, and making it public here is IMO a 
door open to very bad things.

I would limit the visibility to the objectModel, just like for every 
other sitemap-related component in Cocoon (matchers, actions, 
generators, etc).

Thoughts ?

Sylvain
