Yes, and I am beginning to wonder if the pipeline metaphor is really
adapted to XPL :-) !
Yes, you can describe pipes with XPL, but XPL is more than that and when
you start working with real world applications you end up writing XPL
"pipes" that do not look like what we use to call pipelines!
To me, they look more like electronic circuits than like
pipelines :-) ...

Yes, as far as I understand this is the case right now.

Yes, after Erik's latest explanations I tend to agree that the current
situation with proper documentation and maybe minor adaptations is
nice.
