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

I was of the same opinion as you (that partner elements may have a use in
B2B modeling for example) but the truth is we don't know enough about their
use to justify their inclusion in the final spec. Better err on the side of
simplicity.

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.
