Re: rdf in xproc

I think you will like mKR as a pipe language.
I plan to publish a short example to this email group very soon.

I only heard about xproc a couple of days ago,
and still need to study it.  So I can't yet say anything
about the relation of mKR and xproc.

I'd appreciate any pointers to good references on xproc,
and Ruby/JavaScript/Haskell/etc. pipes.
