Issue - 61 - process priority

Status: open
Date added: 8 Sep 2003
Submitter: Sid Askary
Date submitted: 04 September 2003
Since we are dealing with an execution language, the question of runtime 
priority comes to mind.  One could imagine an additional process property.  
While there may be other methods, this could explicitly be expressed as an 
additional binary attribute to the process element followed, conditionally, 
by a new element.

a)

<process  name="ncname" targetNamespace="uri"
	queryLanguage="anyURI"?
	.
	.
	prioritize="yes|no"?/>
b)
<priority name="ncname"
	priorityNumber="anynumber"
	PriorityNumberBase="anynumber"/>

NOTE: PriorityNumberBase reflects the devisor for PriorityNumber. Alternatively, one could replace the two by a single floating-point fraction.
