I think what we need is a possibility to extand a basic
JXTemplateGenerator/Transformer to add your own syntax. Otherwise we
will end in many different *TemplateGenerators/Transformers which have
to be maintained separatly. But I think you meant this with Taglibs,
don't you?

Anyway, a big +1 for *one* official *extensible* templating approach in
Cocoon - otherwise we will confuse our users.
