I am not sure I fully understand them in this case. So heres my opinion and 
you can tell me how it fits into your model ;) I think the transaformation 
pipeline (and possibly serializers) should be completely internal to the 
proposed cocoon block.

However it should be be fair game for the block to have parameters passed in. 
One of these parameters would of course designate the transformation 
pipeline. But the question is could one of the parameters passed in be the 
source to be transformed/processed? Im not sure. In a web application it 
would of course be out of the question but in other cases ... not so sure.
