It would certainly be nice for the p:option to have some declaration of the type value to assist tools in authoring option values or debugging pipelines. A simple proposal would be to allow an optional 'type' attribute on p:option element that has a QName value. That identifies a type name that may or may not be known by a pipeline processor. We could then enumerate a simple list of XML Schema datatypes for our step library. While some may not want to point to XML Schema as a whole, I think since both RelaxNG and XML Schema share a data types specification, we can safely point to simple types as a solution. -- --Alex Milowski "The excellence of grammar as a guide is proportional to the paucity of the inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language considered."
