Re: Version attribute issues

Actually, on closer inspection, I wonder if the intent of 2.13 was to say
that XProc version applies to p:pipeline, p:declare-step, or p:library
and no where else.

Do we really *need* or *want* to allow version mixing at a lower level
than whole pipelines?

Hmph. We could. Anyone else have a preference for which we rename,
assuming we don't limit XProc version to just whole pipelines (or
libraries, of course).

Right. I agree. We do reset some things at nested
declare-step/pipeline boundries (variables and options aren't
inherited for example) but I don't think that need or should apply to
version.
