Anyway, whatever the outcome I look forward to this new development as it

What we were discussing is a possibility to debug the pipeline. For
this we have currently the LogTransformer. One could put this between
several transformation steps and see what happened.

sounds very similar to captor which has been posted once as a patch by Bruno: http://outerthought.net/captor.html

well, there's a difference though. Captor is very useful in itself for
people wanting to understand pipelines, though its completely un-useful
if you're writing your own SAX-transformer which (during development)
might be quite buggy and generate invalid SAX-events. But for many users
out there captor can be extremely useful.

Our idea is based on the profiling component in Cocoon CVS, so yes, we have seen it.

Anyway, how that tool works is flawed, and will not necessarily work with all pipelines (this came out in the Stammtisch), since they might rely on the events being processed through the whole pipeline instead of being cached.
