I partially agree. But it is LGPL, meaning it is possible to use it with 
closed-code software. Some of the glue code will likely end up in 
/templates, and not everyone will be comfortable with having said 
glue-code viewable by public.

No matter, I think I have a pretty simple solution that doesn't require 
any changes in XWiki source. I'll let you know when I'll have it ready. 
Probably in 3-4 days tops.
