Is is possible to chain processes to build up RenderingTransformations by nesting RT process calls in the Transformation element?
If not, is there any way of doing this that is simpler than writing a new RT process invoking the chained processes directly?

Rendering transformations are actually filter functions (that can wrap a wps process, but that’s not a requirement).
There is no architectural limitation preventing one filter function from calling another, so what you are
looking for is theoretically possible… but I have never tried it out, so can’t confirm whether it works or not

What I was hoping to hear… If and when I get a chance to try it out I’ll report back.
