I took this from someone's mail message, if not yours then perhaps
Alessandro's. I understood the idea to be that name is the external
name (what the user might type on the command line) and label was
the way that some subsequent step could refer to it.

  <p:input name="stylesheet" label="userstyle"/>
  ...
  <p:step kind="...">
    <p:with-input from="userstyle"/>

$ xproc pipe.xml stylesheet=/path/to/docbook.xsl

I suppose we could ditch the name attribute and simply use the label
in both places.
