[wsbpel] So what is the scope for WS-BPEL?

[David RR Webber - XML ebusiness <Gnosis_@compuserve.com>]

Steve,

With respect - this is exactly my point - and why we need to 
clarify this MUCH further - the sentences you quote below are
just way to nebulous and hard to fathom - see my notes.

The challenge here - having waved the two foot wide roller
brush of these four sentences - is to break this down into
tangible meaningful goals, audience, deliverables, and
most importantly the exclusions.

We've made a good start on this IMHO with the PPT Satish
posted, but now we need more, and specifically to combine
it with the "What is BPEL?" outline and drilldown into those
tough questions.

Thanks, DW.

>The scope of the Web Services Business Process Execution Language 
Technical Committee is the support of process mechanisms in the 
following areas:

        * Sequencing of process activities, especially Web service
interactions

>>> This is not clear, what other type of process activities, apart from
web services,
 or does 'especially' mean only?  What is the context of the process
activities?

        * Correlation of messages and process instances

>>> Should this not be the other way around?  The processes control fhe
message instances?

        * Recovery behavior in case of failures and exceptional conditions

>>> Where are these exceptional conditions occuring?  Anywhere?  I think we
mean exception,
not exceptional BTW.

        * Bilateral Web service based relationships between process roles

>>>  This statement just does not make any grammatical sense - its
technobabble.
