Unclear rule

[xml-project]

The specs say:

Within the context of a compound step, the declared outputs of the compound step must describe their connections.

I current fail to understand what this rule means. Can anybody please enlighten me.

When you declare (and even, for that matter, use) an atomic step, you never put a connection in a p:output. In declarations, they only describe the properties of the output (primary or secondary, sequence or not, etc.). When you use atomic steps, you never mention them at all.

Things are quite different in compound steps. In compound steps, you must provide a connection (even if it's the default connection to the last step in document order) for the p:output ports.

Oh, it is this difference. Thanks @ndw Will look at the context again and think about a more explicit formulation.

Ok, if you know what it is supposed to say, the paragraph is good and I can't easily find a better way to express this. Let's leave it like it is for a while.

[ndw]

Ok. Should we close this issue in that case?

[xml-project]

Yes, thanks. Forgot this!
