I was thinking about this the other day and, conceptually, I think the term pipe makes much more sense. Even if the word isn't familiar to most people, it gets across the idea of data flowing from one location into another, and possibly being transformed along the way. When I think of links, I envision simply a connection, like between web pages. In that case, data doesn't really "flow", instead it "points". Ideas? J.
