Surely Tom has been off-hook w.r.t. Cocoon for much too long, and we all should blame his bosses for that, but I find it hard to believe "Tom is a Cocoon dumb-ass":http://blogs.cocoondev.org/tomk/archives/000889.html since he wrote "some":http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/developing/httprequest.html "original":http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/developing/extending.html "documentation":http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/developing/avalon.html for it long time ago, while we were still working in the same company, and he, the "Xume":http://www.xume.be/ boys and Bruno were about the only five developers (amongst 30 Java dev'ers) being slightly enthusiastic about Cocoon.
