Hi Stefan,

nice collection of interesting questions you put up there ;)
Just to respond to the routing related ones for now:

As you found out, this is currently not possible because we want to 
avoid that the URLs change just by installing some package..

We thought about providing some interactive dialog once we have a 
graphical package manager (aka extension manager). E.g. "the package you 
are about to install contains routing configuration, do you want to 
include those to the application?"

Another option would be a configuration option like:
TYPO3:
   Flow:
     routing:
       autoInclude: 'Some.Package'

But a convention for this would be to only set this for application/site 
package - that is, not in packages you are distributing. And then I 
don't see the big advantage over an application wide configuration that 
should be under version control anyways..

Woot?

Currently the URL directly corresponds to the underlying document node 
path. This is done with a custom RoutePartHandler, see 
https://git.typo3.org/Packages/TYPO3.Neos.git/blob/HEAD:/Classes/TYPO3/Neos/Routing/FrontendNodeRoutePartHandler.php 
(but don't look too closely, this is still somewhat hacky ;)

We plan to separate node path and URL (and we need that for the 
localized trees at the latest).

In the meantime you could try to use a custom RoutePartHandler (e.g. by 
subclassing the existing one). But this is a bit tricky due to all the 
context initialization in there..

HTH,
