I think the argument for XInclude resolution holds for any other set of 
XML operations: the author cannot guarantee which subset of these 
operations happen and in what order without an explicit pipleine and it 
would be in his/her best interest to use a pipleline in order to guarantee 
a 'faithful rendition' in such a scenario (which is very much dependent on 
the final XML infoset that the GRDDL transformation starts with).
