Re: Naming

/ Jeni Tennison <jeni@jenitennison.com> was heard to say:
[...]
| <step kind="select" name="chapters">
|   <pipe from="validated!result" to="documents" />
|   <param name="xpath" value="//chap" />
| </step>

I think this is definitely worth exploring. The one thing that bothers
me a little bit is that I think it encourages the reader to think of
pipes and steps somewhat separately. The following markup, for
example, is technically sufficient.

 <pipe from="validated!result" to="chapters!documents" />

 <step kind="select" name="chapters">
   <param name="xpath" value="//chap" />
 </step>

But I don't think it's a very friendly.

On that basis, I think I prefer a model where one end of the pipe is
somehow more permanently affixed.

Yes, please!
