wouldn't it make sense to actually implement this for JCR source?
I mean extend it to JCR properties.

yes, I can list all nodes by using the TraversableGenerator, but I think it
would make sense it the the JCR Source in combination with the 
"FileGenerator"
would allow to get the content of a JCR property, e.g.

<property name="" value="">
....
</property>

nodes which don't have the content role, but maybe are just a 
"collection" should
also have a last modified, because they might received a new child, right.

It seems to me otherwise for instance the TraversableGenerator won't 
reread the node show the new children, or am I confusing something.

Thanks
