Re: Minimal requirements for XPath usage

/ ht@inf.ed.ac.uk (Henry S. Thompson) was heard to say:
|  <pipe>
|   <step process="xsdValidate">
|    <input name="schemaDoc" href="my.xsd"/>
|   </step>
|   <step process="xslt1.0">
|    <input name="stylesheet" href="my.xsl"/>
|   </step>
|  </pipe>

This pipeline has implicitly a single, anonymous input document.
Some of the other examples we've discussed have had explicit input
documents, for example,

  <pipe>
    <input name="document"/>
    <input name="schema"/>
    ...
  </pipe>

Is it your view that we shouldn't allow pipelines like this in 1.0? If
not, do you have a view for how to generalize the syntax you've
outlined?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
