either do your own custom resource or aggregate the content before you 
send it through the XSLTs by overwriting the getContent... method of the 
BasicXMLResource

Of course it would be nice to have something like a "Cocoon Resource" 
where one could configure such stuff, but I am afraid of other drawbacks 
then.

But I understand we need to come up with a simple solution which would 
covering the most commong uses and for the rest one can do custom 
resources. It's about finding the balance ;-)
