Maybe. Why not ? It really depends on the implementation and it has to
be simple.
I regret... BPMN is just a notation. I sincerely thinks that the
OpenWFE process definition language allows for more concise business
process and that it's easier to define/describe crappier business
processes in BPMN than in OpenWFE process definition language. But
that's not the point of this thread, excuse my digression. Where in
the 21st century and it's very seldom to write code in assembler
directly... But is BPMN higher level than OpenWFE process definition
language, I doubt it.
Whatever the process definition language as long as the engine may run it.
