Subject: [wsbpel] Issue 42 - Proposal to voteProposal: Close without change to the specificationRationale: Although the use and definitions of formalisms can be useful in understanding and defining a specification, including such in a formal description as normative in a specification that is also in natural language and less formal expressions has the drawbacks:a) it is a very large effort, and can significantly delay the completion of the specificationb) formal specifications tend to be understood only by a few and many of the subject-area experts will use and think in terms of the non-formal description, in development of both the specification and implementations.c) if there is conflict between the formal and non-formal which is to have precedence ?Separate formal descriptions of bpel, not included in the specification and without normative authority are to be encouraged.
