Hi Alex,

For me it's too. Except for the <entity:desc> tag. What do you think adding
this? (see other mail).

Agreed.
What do you think of making all this (<entity:>, xml confis, queries, etc)
part of bcc at a later point? So we can just run bcc over every textfile, it
will detect what file it is (based upon name or internal grammatical
criteria), and run the related compilers for each tag.

Agreed. This should be done before. I've similar intentions like Jason. Use
the system as soon as possible, even is there is no advanced data handling
(entity). And therefore Make should work, caus I hate copying the files over
and over and writing php in templates.

But entitymanager is very important too. So making bcc work for very basic
tags that don't require much related handling (module, js, url, href, and
maybe img) first and doing then multi-site make should happen before
etymanager (at least from my point of view).

Agreed.
