OK, so if I have a pipeline like this:

<p:pipeline xpath-version="1.0" xmlns:x="http://www.test.com">
  <p:declare-step type="x:test" xpath-version="2.0">
    <p:choose>
      <p:when test="p:system-property('p:xpath-version') = '1.0'">
        <p:identity>
          <p:input port="source">
            <p:inline>
              <p>XPath 1.0</p>
            </p:inline>
          </p:input>
        <p:identity>
      </p:when>
      <p:otherwise>
        <p:identity>
          <p:input port="source">
            <p:inline>
              <p>XPath 2.0</p>
            </p:inline>
          </p:input>
        <p:identity>
      </p:otherwise>
    </p:choose>
  </p:declare-step>

  <x:test/>
</p:pipeline>

What will be the result? If p:xpath-version is set on 'per run' basis,
will it always produce <p>XPath 1.0</p>? Or, if the processor is XPath
2.0 based, may I get <p>XPath 2.0</p>?
