In any case, as you probably know, the workflow area has many technical approaches which are supported by different technical camps. There's the pi-calculus people, there's the petri-net people and etc.. Picking one and saying that's the one answer for all is simply naiive. Sorry. Which proprietary solutions BTW? (Out of curiosity.) > - they've not been badly designed by committee. FYI BPEL 1.1 was not designed by committee. Point out a feature and we can point out who to blame and the rationale for it! ;-) So, skip the bit about "it was designed by committee, therefore its crap" and point to the flaws please!
