Re: Parameters and pipelines proposal

/ Jeni Tennison <jeni@jenitennison.com> was heard to say:

Sold!

I think you're right; allowing both parameters and options at the top
level is asking for confusion. And I'm entirely happy to make the
parameter inputs empty too, for the same reason.

| One last thing: can we rename <c:parameter-list> to <c:parameter-set>

| <c:parameter-set> element).

c:parameter-set works for me.
