Alternative to x!y

This is mostly for those of us who were at Extreme...

When I presented the XProc stuff, several folks commented that they
didn't much like the x!y notation. I thought at least one person
proposed a reasonable alternative. But I no longer recall what it was,
if it even happened.

Anyone else recall? Or have thoughts?

                                          norm
