/ Alex Milowski <alex@milowski.org> was heard to say: | While particular steps only *need* to refer to outputs of other steps, | tool technologies will need full ability to address into the pipeline. I expect we'll allow name attributes on most (if not all) elements. If you need to address something that doesn't have a name, use the XPointer element scheme. | Experience has shown that having a common mechanism with which to | address the full abstract model is something that both users and | vendors eventually want. If we end up using a "slash" for a | separator, it would be unfortunate if we couldn't map it to an | XPath kind of construct. | | Keep in mind that XML Schema already has such a construct that is | coming out for addressing into the component model: | | http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-ref/ If this sort of thing is necessary (I'm unconvinced), I would like to postpone working on it until the language spec is in last call or CR.
