I understood the idea to be that name is the external name (what the user might type on the command line) and label was the way that some subsequent step could refer to it. <p:input name="stylesheet" label="userstyle"/> ... <p:step kind="..."> <p:with-input from="userstyle"/> $ xproc pipe.xml stylesheet=/path/to/docbook.xsl I suppose we could ditch the name attribute and simply use the label in both places.
