Re: [wsbpel] Issue 157 - proposal - latest revision

Hi Charlton

Great that you like this name.

Here is my updated consolidated text:

"RE (Replace-Element-properties): Replace the element at the
destination with a copy of the element at the source. By default, an 
extra step is performed to replace the name of this copied element with 
the name of the destination element. An OPTIONAL keepSrcElementName 
attribute is provided for the case where one desires this extra step not 
to occur, effectively keeping the source elements name. Therefore, the 
default of keepSrcElementName is 'no'.  The result in both cases is that 
all [children] and [attribute] properties of the destination  EII are 
removed, and all [children] and [attribute]  properties of the source 
EII appear at the destination EII.

What do you think ?

Thanks
Rania
