Hi Luca,
I'm happy with the solution as well. The main downside, compared to
publishing at the variable level, is that if new versions of specific
files are published, it will be necessary to republishe more than
just the modified files. However the publisher can be instructed to
only rescan the files modified, and in the case where multiple
variables are updated this scheme would actually require less
republishing. In short, I think it's a workable solution.
