consider the following contrived example;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
                                        <p:pipeline
xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc"
name="pipeline" xmlns:my="http://www.example.org/mine/ns">

   <p:declare-step name="this" type="my:test">
       <p:input port="source" sequence="true"/>
                                              <p:output port="result"
sequence="true"/>
       <p:identity name="indicator">
           <p:input port="source">
              <p:pipe step="this" port="source"/>
           </p:input>
       </p:identity>

   </p:declare-step>
   <my:test name="step1"/>
</p:pipeline>

could we not omit the step attribute on the p:pipe to default mean
'this' step e.g. the local step ?
