Re: parameters and pipelines

I think the namespace bindings for parameters passed to the initial
pipeline have to be implementation-defined.

As an implementor, two possibilities occur to me immediately:

First, you could have a -ns parameter:

  $ xproc -ns geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#" \
          -p geo:lat=42 -p -geo:long=-72 -p locale=geo:ma ...

Or you could do it with Clark notation:

  $ xproc -p "{http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#}lat=42" \
          -p "{http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#}long=-72" \
          -p locale=geo:ma ...

How you deal with QName *values* in the latter case is a question
you'd have to answer.

I'm likely to have a -ns parameter, myself.

                                        Be seeing you,
