Hey, this was just to refute an objection explaining that the additional
complexity brought by HLink would over kill applications rather than a
design guide :-) ...
Anyway, for my defense, I'd say that I like to use these generic
templates when I am writing near-identity transformation (and that was
the case) and also that I often prefer to write pipes of several simple
transformations (using a node-set extension if I need to consolidate
them into a single one) than a single more complex one...
It's probably a matter of style but I prefer simple things!
