Firstly, Thanks Vruusmann. The ecosystem being built around PMML, Openscoring with R and Python is brilliant.
R lacks pipeline support like Python due to lack of standard API. Instead of caret's preProcess, would it be a good idea to support a recipe? Recipes package is meant creating and preprocessing design matrices that can be used for modeling or visualization. Its being developed by Max Kuhn (author of caret) and Hadley Wickham.
The package seems to offer clean API and IMHO might turn into a mature pre-processing tool soon.
