Thanks, have to take a look into that.

Point-to-point publishing? Could you define or open a bit that term, 
not so familiar with that ,-)

Publishable folder is very handy tool, when we think about a site that 
has a small ezine-section and people want to work on the next issue 
with the ZMI-tools and then publish it. Of course this is possible to 
do in many ways - but a folder-thinking could be very easy solution 
and also easy to teach and sell forward to people...

Now one thing that poeple migth get confused is that folders are 
allways automaticly published but content has to be published separately.

Also. For the routines that publish the folder, should have something 
like publish all - which would automaticly parse throug all the 
elements inside the folder and publish them too.

Don't know. But in my opinion the choise to catalog also containers is 
good.
