Wrt the discussion just now about conditionals, here's a pair of
pseudo-pipeline-documents which condition processing on a property of
the input (1) or of a computed stylesheet (2).  The 'otherwise'
branches aren't filled in, as we didn't discuss them. . .

1)
<pipe>
 <subpipe input="foo.xsl" output="#computedStyle">
  <step operation="XSLT 2.0" stylesheet="baz.xsl"/>
  <step operation="xxx" arg="yyy.xml"/>
 </subpipe>
 <subpipe input="#STDIN" output="#primary">
  <step operation="qqq" arg="rrr.xml"/>
 </subpipe>
 <subpipe input="#primary" output="#STDOUT">
  <choose>
   <when test="/doc/author/initials='ndw'">
    <subpipe input="#primary">
     <step operation="XSLT 2.0" stylesheet="#computedStyle"/>
    </subpipe>
   </when>
   <otherwise>
    ???
   </otherwise>
  </choose>
 </subpipe>
</pipe>

2)
<pipe>
 <subpipe input="foo.xsl" output="#computedStyle">
  <step operation="XSLT 2.0" stylesheet="baz.xsl"/>
  <step operation="xxx" arg="yyy.xml"/>
 </subpipe>
 <subpipe input="#STDIN" output="#primary">
  <step operation="qqq" arg="rrr.xml"/>
 </subpipe>
 <subpipe input="#computedStyle" output="#STDOUT">
  <choose>
   <when test="/xsl:stylesheet//fo:*">
    <subpipe input="#primary">
     <step operation="XSLT 2.0" stylesheet="#computedStyle"/>
    </subpipe>
   </when>
   <otherwise>
    ???
   </otherwise>
  </choose>
 </subpipe>
</pipe>
