AFAIK, the cocepts are not completely developed yet.

That sounds rasonable. 

Some mechanism is needed that enables us to build scenarios where *any*
sitewide code could be included in any file / page.

I thought that could be achieved with external entities, but that would
include whole files at once.
So in a scenario where all sitewide code is place in one central file,
some inclusion mechanism is needed, that can select specific parts of
that repository.
So maybe with XInclude plus XPointer and XPath, the pages/files could
include the parts of the repository they need.

Then you would write the logo, fonts, symbols, filters, timing and
animation only once,
in a generic or compatible way, so that they integrate well with the
pages.

What would be the simplest way to achieve that? Any ideas? Maybe it's
already possible?
