Other features: I'm good at that. :)

We've been talking about being able to use the result of a query to  
parametrize link node-type URL generation, similar to the regex  
replacement stuff used in the Cocoon sitemap and elsewhere.

select x, y where ... leads to:

<node type="link" url="$contextPath/ext/blabla/$(x)?foo=$(y)"/>

Is that what you were trying to describe as:

Just asking,
