A process specification is a series of declarations that specifies a
process. Stylesheet authors create them by linking together process
specification elements.

An end-user (e.g. a technical writer sitting in front of a DSSSL-based
word processor) *selects* a particular process-specification of the
potentially many possible ones by identifying a "starting" process
specification element.
