I was on the fence this morning. Addressing typing for just options
and parameters, and not inputs and outputs, lakes coherence; this
especially if we are using XML Schema. Also, XML Schema doesn't help
us to constrain an option to be a XPath expression or match pattern,
which was one of the reasons for considering typing. So I would rather
see this addressed in a more comprehensive way in a future version of
XProc. For now documentation, and constraints enforced by components
(instead of the pipeline engine) will do.
