The meaning of <p:input/>

Folks,

At today's f2f, we discussed the meaning of <p:input/>. The nominated
options were, it's the same as:

  <p:input>
    <p:pipe/>
  </p:input>

i.e., a binding to the default readable port (per discussed but not yet
implemented changes to p:pipe), or:

  <p:input>
    <p:empty/>
  </p:input>

Unfortunately, I don't think it's that simple, because:

  "An input declaration may include a default connection. If no
  connection is provided for an input port which has a default
  connection, then the input is treated as if the default connection
  appeared."

I wonder if default connections are worth the trouble.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
