Very smart.

That's not exactly what I was thinking but it makes sense. The sitemap is
usually transformed and cached - I guess the db structure could be the
"cache". I'll have to think about this some more.

We should hold off on integrating this right now. I just wanted to see if
you would consider doing so as we move forward and it sounds like you will.
It will be smart to do as it make it easier to integrate with newer style
web app architectures. It is complicated though and we should consider the
different possibilities. I'll spend some more time thinking about how this
can work and get back to you.

For now, lets just release a well tested version 3.1 that is solid. I'll try
to bring in some other developers to improve discussions for the sitemap
considerations. 

Lets stay with SF for now, the problem with CVS is for the translations? You
want to make lang accessible to other developers? I don't think you can have
different groups of developers, can you?
