  Not the same way than in XSLT, but what for instance if we were able
to plug a processor on the link between two processors?  That would
enable one to create a proxy over (in front of or behind are maybe
better) a processor.  For example that would allow to make XInclude
processing at one point in a standard pipeline that didn't support
that initially.

  I am just thinking aloud...

  That's maybe something we'd be better experimenting after the XProc
REC, to get real usage for XProc 1.1...
