Re: New to Xproc Question : conditionnal "output port" definition?

> I actually don't know how to use such a self define step.


You can definitely have p:declare-step as a child of p:declare-step,  
see:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xproc/#p.declare-step

A common practice is to group utility steps (p:declare-step) in a  
p:library document that you can import in other pipelines using  
p:import.

Hope this helps,
Romain.
