Well, not really. It means introducing a new concept: "primary
parameter input port".

Syntactically, it's just allowing primary on the parameter input port,
but it's conceptually different because this is presumably allowed:

<p:pipeline>
  <p:input port="parameters" primary="yes" kind="parameters"/>
  <p:input port="source" primary="yes"/>

  <p:input port="alt-parameters" kind="parameters"/>
  <p:input port="alt-import"/>
  ...

Where using "primary" twice would previously have been an error.

                                          norm
