RE: [wsbpel] Issue 18 - Proposal to Vote

["Satish Thatte" <satisht@microsoft.com>]

Proposed Resolution to Issue 18 - Close with no change to the
specification. 

My rationale: Visual notation is a separable dimension and arguably out
of scope for this TC.   

David Burdett originally opened the issue.

Discussion:

David wrote that he was agreeable to closing this, but added the
suggestion that the TC make a non-binding recommendation to implementers
of BPEL to provide an export file and related specification that
provided information about any graphical representations of a BPEL
definition. So that others could provide import facilities if they
wanted to.

My response to that suggestion was that making such a recommendation
will start the whole discussion about whether BPEL is meant to be
directly used for design or compiled out of some higher level design
metaphor.  I would much prefer to avoid a discussion that would be tool
specific anyway.  

I suggested to David that he open a separate issue for the non-binding
recommendation if he felt that was important to have.
