One approach would be to allow a component to say that it produced a sequence of infosets. This would be done in some kind of component description file; the API by which it actually outputs the sequence would be implementation-dependent. The pipeline compiler would then be able to know when a sequence output was fed to a "normal" component that only accepted a single infoset, and insert code to repeatedly run the second component. Similarly a component could say that it accepted a sequence of infosets. (This kind of component description file will be necessary anyway to specify the parameters that a component requires, how many inputs and outputs it has, and perhaps whether the inputs and outputs are PSVIs or other augmented infosets.) -- Richard
