I wasn't suggesting it _would_ be allowed. My proposal is to make
p:pipeline a convenience for the 90% case: it effectively corresponds
to a p:pipeline-library containing a single p:declare-step with
attributes and contents taken from the p:pipeline. That's just a way
of thinking about, or defining its semantics -- it's up to the editor
whether, if we adopt this in principle, he describes it that way, or
in its own terms.
