A Cocoon block may contain Java classes, component declerations (Avalon and 
Spring style) and Cocoon applications. The directory structure was derived from 
these needs because we had to make sure that everything has its own place:

   /COB-INF/**         The Cocoon application (sitemaps, templates, etc.)
   /META-INF/cocoon/** All configuration files
   /**                 Java classes and Java resources

And yes, COB-INF stands for COcoon block and the name was chosen in analogy to 
e.g. WEB-INF.
