Define an 'object model' for Forrest sites, in the form of a Cocoon
pipeline, that defines
- The directory structure of a site
- Site metadata (what currently lives in skinconf.xml + gump.xml
stuff)
- Perhaps site.xml metadata for pages?
This info can then be made public to the sitemap (via XMLFileModule
attributes) and the stylesheets (through
<span class="codefrag">document(cocoon:/...)</span> calls or inlined with source XML).

Enhance the initial forrest toolbar for Mozilla.

<strong>[code]</strong>
Fix things so docs can be edited in src/*, and have the changes appear
immediately in the webapp. Involves creating/using an InputModule for
passing 'forrest.skin' and other properties to the sitemap, so we can
avoid the @skin@ hack, and a bit of forrest.build.xml hacking. There
are some @tokens@ in a forrest-site CSS file that also need some sort
of in-place modification. Perhaps a @token@-to-value Transformer could
be the same ${variable}-to-value Transformer mentioned in the RT [3].

Act on <a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=104099660500001&r=1&w=2">'Entities in XML docs' RT</a>.
I can implement Stefano's
suggested solution quite easily, but is such limited functionality
worth the cost of introducing a proprietary ${variable} syntax? Maybe..
Best short-term alternative seems to be using the XNI XInclude
processor for pre-validation inclusion.

Using metadata

Migrate to a decent schema language, primarily so that we can use

in-line SVG, Jelly snippets, or anything else users can make a

Streamline the process of adding support for new schemas. Ideally we'd
