I recall suggesting map:pipe in an earlier discussion because it
would confirm to "noun-verb" convention that already exists in the sitemap.

... the only problem being that also pipe is a noun, it does not mean "somebody who makes pipelines". Currently, generator is "somebody who generates", transformer is "somebody who transforms", etc.

But "pipe" noun does not describe an actor, "pipe" is passive... "Piper" could be better but it means "somebody who plays pipe"...

Yes generally "pipe" is a noun...but how about "to pipe something through"
in this context it would be a verb ....

... this will result in "pipe" (n) - "pipe" (v) pair ... we made a circle :)

So, options for the pair are:

pipeline - pipeline (existing)
pipe - pipeline
pipeline - pipe
processor - process
piper - pipe
...

Other suggestions?

I was actually thinking:

<components>
<map:matchers>
</map:matchers>
<map:pipelines>
<map:pipeline/>
</map:pipelines>
</components>
..

<map:pipes>
<map:pipe>
<map:act>
<map:match>
...
</map:pipe>

<map:pipe>
</map:pipe>
</map:pipes>

thats my suggestion anyway :)

I'm sorry, but I'm -1 on such a severe back incompatible change for a simple naming reason. That would be a great way to piss people off (at least, I would be)

Besides, I already explained why <pipe> as a component and <pipeline> as a sitemap concept make sense and keep back compatibility.

Sitemap 1.1 should be extending Sitemap 1.0, not provide any back-incompatible change, otherwise this is really sitemap 2.0 and I woundn't like that.
