Norm,
In your proposed syntax, the 3 attributes related to the input are on
<p:for-each>, while the attributes related the output are on an inner
element <p:with-output>.
I think that having attributes related to the input directly on the
<p:for-each> but having attributes related to the output on an inner
element is somewhat inconsistent. So I suggest we use 2 inner
elements.
Also, just as we like to have a <p:with-output> which has a different
element name than the pipeline <p:output>, I suggest we used different
element names here: <p:for-each-input> and <p:for-each-output>. This
makes it clear that a <p:for-each-input> is an input, but not exactly
like the <p:input> and <p:with-input> (all those elements also accept
different set of attributes).
That gives:
<p:for-each>
<p:for-each-input from="documents-to-import"
select="/xpath"
label="one-document"/>
<p:for-each-output label="sequence-of-errors"
from="error-for-this-document"/>
