Re: [wsbpel] implicite links of the runtime engine (was: Implicit <sequence> macro)

["Frank Leymann" <LEY1@de.ibm.com>]

I completely disagree that this is an academic exercise!  As Satish points
out correctly, the combined block-structured and graph-structured nature of
BPEL is a high-value feature of BPEL - real-world customers fall into one
of these camps and you have hard problems convincing a "block-oriented"
customer that graph-oriented is the right way to go and vice versa.  A
combined language like BPEL is in fact very pragmatic by ending this
discussion and being able to focus on features and functions.

Regards,
Frank

That's a good academic excercise.

Now, as far as a usable specification goes ...
