How does the core engine execute an XPipe ? Does it ask an XPipe to execute
itself, which then executes every XComponent by getting its code properties
?

Thanks for explaining concepts behind XGrid.
www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com have also a good explanation of
Scatter/Gather patterns.
So, XGrid is something which allows declaratively to set up multiple stages
(XPipes) through which scattered doc fragments could be pumped through and
eventually gathered ?
Interesting, it looks similar to an XRig fork and join. If so, then an XGrid
could be a lower-level implementation of XRig's higher-level fork and join
constructs. What do you think ?
