would be useful to configure a pipeline of iterated xslt transformations.

for instance: we have an xml configuration file which can be turned into human-readable documentation by first transforming to an xml documentation language (similar to docbook), then to xsl-fo, then to pdf.

right now, this would have to be done in two separate steps, even though they're always done together.

It would be exceptionally powerful if, instead of the current scenario mechanism, the Cocoon pipelines could be used. This would allow us to chain any number of transforms in sequence. It would also allow us to use serializers other than the 4 we get already (HTML, Text, XML, PDF).

I don't know if the pipelines can be stripped out Cocoon like that but if they can, it would be very powerful. And very cool
