Actually, that was my question. It wasn't clear to me whether the value
of the type attribute of p:pipeline must be in a non-null namespace
(similar to p:declare-step). Section 4.1 does not say that - but I just
read the last couple of sentences in that section where the
transformation from p:pipeline to p:declare-step is described, and it
follows from there that type must be in a non-null namespace... So I
guess it's clear.
