Re: [wsbpel] Issue - 130 - Proposal for vote

[Danny van der Rijn <dannyv@tibco.com>]

While partners have no syntactic or semantic value in either abstract or 
executable BPEL (nor have they ever), they still retain semantic meaning 
at the modeling level.  I don't actually recall a discussion about 
removing them, but I'm somewhat ambivalent about doing so, and wonder 
what others think on the issue.
