I actually think we should go further and apply this to all compound
steps which allow outputs at all:

  3') Compound steps which allow output declarations (that is, all
      except p:choose and p:try) get an un-named default output iff their
      last contained step has an unbound default output.

Then the second example pipeline from the spec would look like this:

<p:pipeline xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/2007/03/xproc">

  <p:documentation xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <div>
      <p>This is documentation</p>
    </div>
  </p:documentation>

  <p:choose name="vcheck">
    <p:when test="/*[@version &lt; 2.0]">
      <p:validate-xml-schema name="val1">
        <p:input port="schema">
          <p:document href="v1schema.xsd"/>
        </p:input>
      </p:validate-xml-schema>
    </p:when>

    <p:otherwise>
      <p:validate-xml-schema name="val2">
        <p:input port="schema">
          <p:document href="v2schema.xsd"/>
        </p:input>
      </p:validate-xml-schema>
    </p:otherwise>
  </p:choose>

  <p:xslt name="xform">
    <p:input port="stylesheet">
      <p:document href="stylesheet.xsl"/>
    </p:input>
  </p:xslt>
</p:pipeline>
