Pipe Granularity
Different XML Pipeline implementations support different granularity of flow.
- Document: Whole documents flow through the pipe as atomic units. A document can only be in one place at a time. Though usually multiple documents may be in the pipe at once.
- Event: Element/Text nodes events may flow through different paths. A document may be concurrently flowing through many components at the same time.

Famous quotes containing the word pipe:
“It is not that the Englishman can’t feel—it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks—his pipe might fall out if he did.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
