So does the XPL engine within OPS. It is in fact the kernel of OPS,
and it's sole purpose is to process XML infosets.

None of them being as good as XPL, in all modesty ;-)

The OPS XPL engine is based on SAX. I don't know if you have more in
mind regarding streaming.

It is separable - and separate. For example, you can run raw pipelines
from the command line. The only misssing thing at this point is a
separate JAR file, but that's purely a packaging question.

Then I invite you to have a look at the XPL draft spec:

   http://www.orbeon.com/ops/2005/xpl/

I also invite you to post comments to the new ops-xpl mailing-list
that would illustrate similarities and differences with your language
and/or concepts for pipelining:
