I like this.  I would go a bit further, and say that

 a) type is optional (and ignored if not in a library)
 b) the 'public name' of a pipeline (only relevant for pipelines in
    libraries) is determined as follows:
    1) @type if present
    2) otherwise {../@namespace}@name if ../@namespace is present
    3) otherwise @name
