Issue 158 - Proposal to Vote

[Rania Khalaf <rkhalaf@watson.ibm.com>]

Hi guys,
this is the idea I mentioned last week about 158.

The introduction currently talks about the two flavors of BPEL (abstract
and executable), with abstract building on executable. Abstract BPEL is
also mentioned a few times in the main body. These are not affected by
the restructuring. This is still a specification that provides a
language for defining both abstract and executable processes using
common syntax and semantics.

Abstract and executable share the functionality in executable;
therefore, the main section about the details of abstract processes will
go after all the constructs and behavior of exectuable bpel have been
defined. That is, the section titled 'extensions for executable
processes' will be merged with the one above it and the section
'extensions for business protocols' becomes the 'abstract process'
section. The introduction will clarify, in the introduction, the
structure of the specification using this rationale.
