Half of a co-poster-presentation that Gavin and I did at SGML '96 on the 
subject can be found at <URL:

I was young and naïve).  Gavin's half was to cover the pipeline in a little 
more detail, but he got sidetracked by a car accident on the way to Boston. )-:

This half of the presentation mostly deals with record-end handling, but 
touches on the pipeline idea.
