That's a good observation. 

I can see some flows where a mix of "me push" and "you pull" processes might
be hooked together: the main process pushing the primary inputs to
subprocesses that are thereby triggered to pull secondary data to build
their targets. I'm not sure how that would model in Ant or XML Pipeline;
maybe as modular Pipeline scripts within a larger Ant framework? Must read
more...
