Adding : being able to have a "full xhtml" <head> tag in the <document> of the xdoc pages, instead of the two properties <title> and <author> only, would be great.

This head tag in document would overload the head one in the site.xml file.

Having an attribute "overloadHeader" in the <head> tag of the document would be great to.
Default would be "overload"
If set to "replace", then there is no overload : the <head> tag in the site.xml file is not used and only the <head> tag in the document file is used.
If set to "add", then the head tag in the xdoc is directly add to the site.xml head tag, whatever they are and even if one is yet in the site.xml head tag.

This way, we can have a few pages that follow different rules (head) than all the "regular pages" of the site. (like saying to web search robot not to take them etc...).

Adding : template oriented page definition.

Overloading all the site.xml tags in the page xdoc file would be great.

The xdoc pages schema would be and extension of the site.xml schema.
All that is in the site.xml could be overloaded, if needed.
Having an attribute that defines how the "overloading" is done would be even better. If possible.

All the plugins will benefit this feature : they will be able to set some special things in the header, footer, menus, etc...
Main usefull thing I see :

add a special css file just for the page of a report, to have a nice presentation of its data.
add an icon of "made with this great tool" in the footer, about the tool that did the check of code, the tests, etc...

This is a more heavy issue. may be set another Jira issue ? for later versions ?

This is now possible and we are using it ourselves to insert google analytics.
