Yes your argument is convincing, so perhaps we should put 
the flowmap issue on the back-burner .. ;)

One small point though, I still think flow differs from a pipeline
because it contains information at more abstract level. As I noted
earlier, IMHO a pipelines purpose regardless of redirects, forwardings, or
actions is to describe a single "resource". While a flow describes 
a logical set of "resources"...

Anyway, its time for weekend..... :)
