Description

with MSITE-135/DOXIASITETOOLS-118 fixed for consistency with general Maven interpolation principles (= "late interpolation", ie interpolation happens after inheritance), we see that interpolating early with current pom content is something quite natural in site.xml

adding support for ${this.*} to interpolate with current pom (instead of classical ${project.*}) would give back the feature expected in site.xml

and would be consistent with MNG-5900 (not yet available in any Maven version)
