| Hmmm, I see.  Unfortunately the current wording reads as if there's a
| delimited subpipeline already identified.  How about
|
|   "When a pipeline needs to process a sequence of documents using a
|    step that only accepts a single document, the p:for-each construct
|    can be used as a wrapper around that step (and as many of its
|    following siblings as required)."

Ok by me.

                                          norm
