Hi Oliver, IMO, it would help to be more specific about when precisely
routing patterns can be used as a special syntax for composite tasks. For
example, something like:

<spec-text>
Routing patterns can be used as a convenient syntax to decribe the "who" in
a composite task, where all of the following is true:
 - all subtasks have the same interface
 - all subtasks have an activation pattern of "automatic"
 - (whatever else is needed)
</spec-text>

You might then drop the later sentence "A composite task, including
subtasks of different task types, can be desribed only using the composite
task syntax".

As a side remark, we need to clean up the usage of the term "task type" --
it is sometimes used in the sense of "task definition" (as opposed to "task
instance") and sometimes in the sense of "task vs. notification" -- I will
open a separate issue for this.

Kind Regards
