I am currently producing some documentation using Forrest schemas and 
skins, and so I came across this interesting part of the Forrest 
documentation about menus and linking:
http://xml.apache.org/forrest/linking.html
They have very similar issues to resolve as we do and we might be using 
some of their solutions. The Forrest site.xml is from a functional point 
of view comparable to the Lenya sitetree.xml (although I think it is not 
a good idea to have arbitrary element names as in Forrest's site.xml). 
And the semantic linking might resolve the issue of broken links when 
moving pages.
