I've joined their dev list and I'm experimenting with the product,
with some success.

I see that Cocoon 2.1.11 and blocks are available in Maven
repositories and thus accessible to Ivy / EasyAnt. Is stepping back to
that version from 2.1.12-dev an acceptable approach if it means a
dependency management tool could be used? Thoughts?

I reckon so. Going by my hazy memory, our current Forrest
does not need Cocoon-2.1.12 version. There is some potential
upgrade to FOP block there, but not yet in SVN.

We could also assist Cocoon to release 2.1.12
