Some direct support in the configuration for emdedding a Mule application inside an existing application would be very helpful. I'm thinking a custom XSD namespace which allows you to embed a mule config file under a mule:emedded element which will automatically pick up the outer ApplicationContext, build the mule model, components, routers, etc. and provide a start-up and shut-down hook to tie into the outer application context lifecycle.
