Ok, thanks for clarifying this. I was afraid of the extended complexity
but you nicely show this is not the case and this is a good thing for
me.

Anyway, since I don't see any good on this, but I don't see any harm
either, I'd change my position to a neutral one.

Anyway, Mike, the <xcache:> taglib idea is a great one and I would
welcome you to propose such addiction to the Cocoon-dev mail list for
XSP since I'm sure people would love this functionality.

Also, note, implementing this on XSP wouldn't require any change in the
SAX API, for what I see it.
