Re: Pipeline Composition and our Recent Pipeline Name/Library Decision

/ ht@inf.ed.ac.uk (Henry S. Thompson) was heard to say:
| Here's an alternative I could live with: Pipelines are named with
| expanded names, steps are named with simple names, pipe/@step is an
| NCName, because that's all you need to refer to another step, and
| likewise from _inside_ a pipe all you need is its local name.

I guess that might work, but then we have the weird wrinkle that
the following pipeline is an error:

  <p:pipeline name="x:something" xmlns:x="http://www.example.com/ns/pipe">
    ...
    <p:xslt name="something"/>

which seems awkward to explain. (It's an error because you MUST NOT
have two steps with the same name in the same environment.)

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
