Yes, you are absolutely right. That leads to my personal blocks-fw wishlist:
1) make it possible to mark matcher/pipelines as only accessible from
other blocks (via block:/servlet: protocol)
2) have a PostableBlockSource where you can write into a block:/servlet:
URL to pass request parameters
3) have a possiblity to use sitemap-resources (<resource>) from other
blocks: either by integrating a mechanism into the blocks-fw (probably
very difficult) or by adding a sitemap-include statement (like
map:mount) which can refer to a sitemap located in a different block
Number 3) should actually be handled by the polymorphism, but this only
works with matchers from which you want to read - with a
PostableBlockSource it should be possible to do things like sitemap
child matching, generating stuff etc. and then calling sitemap super
with an XML stream for some final, shared layouting pipeline. But this
might turn into a performance bottleneck, since it would need
serialization of the XML stream for the PostableBlockSource....
