To me this is most important when developing in a team. Managing a
monolithic mapping file is very difficult if everyone is trying to
edit it at once. (But yeah, I do also find it improves the
aesthetics.)

Absolutely it would make sense :) Someone suggested this a few versions
ago but nothing ever came of it. I don't know much about xDoclet myself.
