Re: Inputs and outputs

/ Alessandro Vernet <avernet@orbeon.com> was heard to say:

That's exactly why I'm currently not a fan of the implicit steps. It
may be marginally more tedious to include the "extra" inputs and
outputs, but it makes the pipeline a whole lot more readable and
maintainable, I think.
