Re: Alternative to x!y

Heh.

  <p:input port="document" source="validate->result"/>

I could live with that, I think, though I do have some concerns about
the ">" sign irrespective of the fact that it doesn't have to be
escaped.

A few other possibilities:

  <p:input port="document" source="validate result"/>
  <p:input port="document" source="validate^result"/>
  <p:input port="document" source="validate→result"/>

                                        Be seeing you,
