I have an 'xml' project that lives in sandbox/xml. I think that is in line
with your suggestion of having sandbox/X be independent projects (for any
value of 'X').

It simply doesn't talk about versioning / branching at all. This doesn't
imply that the whole sandbox has to be branched as a whole. I'm pretty sure
everybody agrees that versioning should be by project, as far as the sandbox
